John 4:5-42
Jesus came to a town of Samaria called Sychar,
near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Jacob’s well was there.
Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well.
It was about noon.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water.
Jesus said to her,
“Give me a drink.”
His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
The Samaritan woman said to him,
“How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?”
—For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.—
Jesus answered and said to her,
“If you knew the gift of God
and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink, ‘
you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” The woman said to him,
“Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the cistern is deep;
where then can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this cistern and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?”
Jesus answered and said to her,
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;
but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst;
the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”Jesus said to her,
“Go call your husband and come back.”
The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus answered her,
“You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’
For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true.” The woman said to him,“Sir, I can see that you are a prophet.
Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain;
but you people say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You people worship what you do not understand; we worship what we understand, because salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship him
must worship in Spirit and truth.”
The woman said to him,
“I know that the Messiah is coming, the one called the Christ;
when he comes, he will tell us everything.”Jesus said to her,
“I am he, the one speaking with you.”
At that moment his disciples returned, and were amazed that he was talking with a woman, but still no one said, “What are you looking for?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
The woman left her water jar and went into the town and said to the people, “Come see a man who told me everything I have done. Could he possibly be the Christ?”
They went out of the town and came to him.
Meanwhile, the disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”
Jesus said to them,“My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work. Do you not say, ‘In four months the harvest will be here’? I tell you, look up and see the fields ripe for the harvest.The reaper is already receiving payment and gathering crops for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper can rejoice together. For here the saying is verified that ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the work,
and you are sharing the fruits of their work.”
Many of the Samaritans of that town began to believe in him
because of the word of the woman who testified,
“He told me everything I have done.”
When the Samaritans came to him, they invited him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. Many more began to believe in him because of his word, and they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your word;
for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the savior of the world.”

Nakipag-usap si Jesus sa Babaeng Taga-Samaria
Juan 4:5-42
Pumunta si Jesus sa Sicar na isang lungsod ng Samaria. Ito ay malapit sa lupaing ibinigay ni Jacob sa kaniyang anak na si Jose. Naroroon ang bukal ni Jacob. Dahil napagod si Jesus sa paglalakbay kaya umupo siya sa tabi ng balon. Noon ay mag-iikaanim na ang oras ng araw.
Dumating ang isang babaeng taga-Samaria upang sumalok ng tubig. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Bigyan mo ako ng maiinom. Ang kaniyang mga alagad ay pumunta na sa lungsod upang bumili ng pagkain.
Sinabi sa kaniya ng babaeng taga-Samaria: Bakit ka humihingi sa akin ng maiinom? Ikaw ay isang Judio samantalang ako ay isang babaeng taga-Samaria sapagkat ang mga Judio ay hindi nakikipag-ugnayan sa mga taga-Samaria.
Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya: Kung alam mo ang kaloob ng Diyos at kung sino siya na nagsasabi sa iyo: Bigyan mo ako ng maiinom, ay hihingi ka sa kaniya. At ibibigay niya sa iyo ang tubig na buhay.
Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, wala kang panalok at malalim ang balon. Saan magmumula ang iyong tubig na buhay? Mas dakila ka ba sa aming amang si Jacob? Siya ang nagbigay sa amin ng balon.
Siya ay uminom dito, gayundin ang kaniyang mga anak at ang kaniyang mga hayop.
Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya: Ang bawat isang uminom ng tubig na ito ay muling mauuhaw.
Ang sinumang uminom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na mauuhaw magpakailanman. Ang tubig na aking ibibigay sa kaniya ay magiging balon ng tubig na mapapasa kaniya. Ito ay bubukal sa buhay na walang hanggan.
Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, bigyan mo ako ng tubig na ito upang hindi na ako mauhaw ni pumunta rito upang sumalok. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Humayo ka, tawagin mo ang iyong asawa at pumarito kayo.
Sumagot ang babae at sinabi: Wala akong asawa.
Sumagot ang babae at sinabi: Wala akong asawa.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Mabuti ang sinabi mong wala kang asawa. Ito ay sapagkat nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa. Totoo ang iyong sinabi.
Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, sa pakiwari ko ikaw ay isang propeta. Sa bundok na ito sumamba ang aming mga ninuno. Sinasabi ninyo na ang pook na dapat sumamba ay sa Jerusalem.
Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, sa pakiwari ko ikaw ay isang propeta. Sa bundok na ito sumamba ang aming mga ninuno. Sinasabi ninyo na ang pook na dapat sumamba ay sa Jerusalem.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ginang, maniwala ka sa akin. Darating ang oras na sasambahin ninyo ang Ama hindi sa bundok na ito, ni sa Jerusalem. Hindi ninyo nakikilala ang sinasamba ninyo. Kilala namin ang aming sinasamba sapagkat ang kaligtasan ay sa mga Judio. Darating ang oras at ngayon na nga, na ang mga tunay na mananamba ay sasamba sa Ama, sa espiritu at sa katotohanan sapagkat hinahanap ng Ama ang mga gayong sumasamba sa kaniya. Ang Diyos ay Espiritu. Sila na sumasamba sa kaniya ay dapat sumamba sa espiritu at sa katotohanan. Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Alam ko na ang Mesiyas na tinatawag na Cristo ay darating. Sa kaniyang pagdating ay sasabihin niya sa amin ang lahat ng mga bagay.
Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus: Ako iyon, ako na nagsasalita sa iyo.
Nang sandaling iyon ay dumating ang kaniyang mga alagad. Sila ay namangha na siya ay nakikipag-usap sa isang babae. Gayunman walang isa mang nagtanong: Ano ang iyong hinahanap o bakit ka nakikipag-usap sa kaniya?
Iniwan nga ng babae ang kaniyang banga at pumunta sa lungsod. Sinabi niya sa mga lalaki: Halikayo, tingnan ninyo ang isang lalaki na nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa. Hindi kaya ito na ang Mesiyas? Lumabas nga sila sa lungsod at pumunta kay Jesus. Samantala, ipinakikiusap sa kaniya ng mga alagad na nagsasabi: Guro, kumain ka.
Sinabi niya sa kanila: Mayroon akong kakaining pagkain na hindi ninyo alam.Sinabi ng mga alagad sa isa't isa: May nagdala ba sa kaniya ng makakain?
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Ang aking pagkain ay ang gawin ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin at tapusin ang kaniyang gawain. Hindi ba sinasabi ninyo: Apat na buwan pa bago dumating ang tag-ani? Narito, sinasabi ko sa inyo: Itaas ninyo ang inyong paningin at tingnan ang mga bukid. Ito ay hinog na para anihin. Ang nag-aani ay tumatanggap ng upa. Siya ay nag-iipon ng bunga patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. Ito ay upang ang naghahasik at ang nag-aani ay kapwa magkasamang magalak. Sa gayong paraan, totoo ang kasabihan: Iba ang naghahasik at iba ang nag-aani. Sinugo ko kayo upang mag-ani ng hindi ninyo pinagpaguran. Ibang tao ang nagpagod at kayo ang nakinabang sa kanilang pinagpaguran.
Marami sa mga taga-Samaria sa lungsod na iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa salita ng babaeng nagpatotoo: Sinabi niya sa akin ang lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa. Kaya nga, nang pumunta kay Jesus ang mga lalaking taga-Samaria ay hiniling nilang siya ay manatili na kasama nila. At siya ay nanatili roon ng dalawang araw. Marami pa ang mga nagsisampalataya dahil sa kaniyang salita.
Sinabi nila sa babae: Sumasampalataya kami ngayon hindi na dahil sa sinabi mo. Kami ang nakarinig at aming nalaman na ito na nga ang Mesiyas. Alam namin na totoong siya ang Tagapagligtas ng sanlibutan.
