Orthodox Reading

GreekὩς οὖν ἔγνω ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὅτι Ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει ἢ Ἰωάννης

Orthodox ReadingWhen therefore the Lord came to know that the Pharisees, the perushim, the rigorous observants perushimⓘ had heard that Jesus was making more disciples talmidimⓘ and immersing in the immersive bath of the tevilah immersingⓘ than John

Greek- καίτοιγε Ἰησοῦς αὐτὸς οὐκ ἐβάπτιζεν ἀλλ' οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ -

Orthodox Reading— although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples did —

Greekἀφῆκεν τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.

Orthodox Readinghe left Judea Judeaⓘ and departed again toward Galilee.

Greekἔδει δὲ αὐτὸν διέρχεσθαι διὰ τῆς Σαμαρείας.

Orthodox ReadingBut he had to pass through Samaria Samariaⓘ — not by necessity of route, since the Jews avoided it, but by necessity of the divine design.

Greekἔρχεται οὖν εἰς πόλιν τῆς Σαμαρείας λεγομένην Συχὰρ πλησίον τοῦ χωρίου ὃ ἔδωκεν Ἰακὼβ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ·

Orthodox ReadingHe comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar Sycharⓘ, near the field that the patriarch Jacob had given to Joseph his son;

Greekἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πηγὴ τοῦ Ἰακώβ. ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς κεκοπιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ· ὥρα ἦν ὡς ἕκτη.

Orthodox Readingthere was the well of Jacob, the En Yaaqov. Jesus therefore, weary from the journey, was sitting simply by the well; it was about the sixth hour sixth hourⓘ.

GreekἜρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς Σαμαρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Δός μοι πιεῖν·

Orthodox ReadingA woman from Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her: «Give me to drink»;

Greekοἱ γὰρ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσιν.

Orthodox Readingfor his disciples talmidimⓘ had gone into the city to buy food.

Greekλέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ Σαμαρῖτις· Πῶς σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὢν παρ' ἐμοῦ πιεῖν αἰτεῖς γυναικὸς Σαμαρίτιδος οὔσης; οὐ γὰρ συγχρῶνται Ἰουδαῖοι Σαμαρίταις.

Orthodox ReadingThen the woman, a Samaritan of the Shomronim Shomronitⓘ, says to him: «How is it that you, who are a Jew of the Yehudim Yehudiⓘ, ask a drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?». For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans, on account of ritual purity (taharah): the shomronot women were held to be in a state of perennial niddah, permanent menstrual impurity taharahⓘ.

101

Greekἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι· Δός μοι πιεῖν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτὸν καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν.

Orthodox ReadingJesus answered and said to her: «If you knew the gift of God gift of Godⓘ and who it is that says to you: Give me to drink, you yourself would have asked him, and he would have given you living water, mayim hayyim living waterⓘ».

Orthodox ReadingThe woman says to him: «Sir, you have not even a bucket to draw with, and the well is deep; from where then do you get this living water?

Greekμὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἰακώβ, ὃς ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν τὸ φρέαρ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔπιεν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θρέμματα αὐτοῦ;

Orthodox ReadingAre you perhaps greater than our father Jacob Jacobⓘ, who gave us this well, and drank from it himself with his sons and his flocks?».

Greekἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν·

Orthodox ReadingJesus answered and said to her: «Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again;

Greekὃς δ' ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῷ, οὐ μὴ διψήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ ὃ δώσω αὐτῷ γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

Orthodox Readingbut whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst forever; rather the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life eternal lifeⓘ».

Greekλέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, δός μοι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ, ἵνα μὴ διψῶ μηδὲ διέρχωμαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν.

Orthodox ReadingThe woman answered and said to him: «I have no husband». Jesus says to her: «You have spoken well: I have no husband;

Greekπέντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες, καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστιν σου ἀνήρ· τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας.

Orthodox Readingfor you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband; this you have said truthfully».

Orthodox ReadingYou worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation salvationⓘ comes from the Jews — the Hebrew roots of the covenant are affirmed, not abolished.

Greekἀλλὰ ἔρχεται ὥρα καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσιν τῷ πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν.

Orthodox ReadingBut an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth spirit and truthⓘ; for the Father seeks worshipers of this kind.
