4:1 さて、イエスがヨハネよりも多くの弟子をつくり、洗礼を授けておられるということが、ファリサイ派の人々の耳に入った。イエスはそれを知ると、

4:2 ――洗礼を授けていたのは、イエス御自身ではなく、弟子たちである――

4:3 ユダヤを去り、再びガリラヤへ行かれた。

4:4 しかし、サマリアを通らねばならなかった。

4:5 それで、ヤコブがその子ヨセフに与えた土地の近くにある、シカルというサマリアの町に来られた。

4:6 そこにはヤコブの井戸があった。イエスは旅に疲れて、そのまま井戸のそばに座っておられた。正午ごろのことである。

4:7 サマリアの女が水をくみに来た。イエスは、「水を飲ませてください」と言われた。

4:8 弟子たちは食べ物を買うために町に行っていた。

4:9 すると、サマリアの女は、「ユダヤ人のあなたがサマリアの女のわたしに、どうして水を飲ませてほしいと頼むのですか」と言った。ユダヤ人はサマリア人とは交際しないからである。

4:10 イエスは答えて言われた。「もしあなたが、神の賜物を知っており、また、『水を飲ませてください』と言ったのがだれであるか知っていたならば、あなたの方からその人に頼み、その人はあなたに生きた水を与えたことであろう。」

ＮＫＪＶ ヨハ 4:1-10

4:1 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John

4:2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),

4:3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.

4:4 But He needed to go through Samaria.

4:5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

4:7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."

4:8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

4:9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

ＴＥＶ ヨハ 4:1-10

4:1 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was winning and baptizing more disciples than John.

4:2 (Actually, Jesus himself did not baptize anyone; only his disciples did.)

4:3 So when Jesus heard what was being said, he left Judea and went back to Galilee;

4:4 on his way there he had to go through Samaria.

4:5 In Samaria he came to a town named Sychar, which was not far from the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

4:6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by the trip, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

4:7 A Samaritan woman came to draw some water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink of water."

4:8 (His disciples had gone into town to buy food.)

4:9 The woman answered, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan-so how can you ask me for a drink?" (Jews will not use the same cups and bowls that Samaritans use.)

4:10 Jesus answered, "If you only knew what God gives and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you life-giving water."
