003:019 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world,
and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their
works were evil.
003:020 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come
to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
003:021 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works
may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
003:022 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land
of Judea. He stayed there with them, and baptized.
003:023 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there
was much water there. They came, and were baptized.
003:024 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
003:025 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's
disciples with some Jews about purification.
003:026 They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with
you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold,
the same baptizes, and everyone is coming to him."
003:027 John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been
given him from heaven.
003:028 You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,'
but, 'I have been sent before him.'
003:029 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of
the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly
because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy,
therefore is made full.
003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease.
003:031 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from
the Earth belongs to the Earth, and speaks of the Earth.
He who comes from heaven is above all.
003:032 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one
receives his witness.
003:033 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this,
that God is true.
003:034 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God
gives the Spirit without measure.
003:035 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
003:036 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one
who disobeys{The same word can be translated "disobeys"
or "disbelieves" in this context.} the Son won't see life,
but the wrath of God remains on him."
004:001 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
004:002 (although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples),
004:003 he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
004:004 He needed to pass through Samaria.
004:005 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel
of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
004:006 Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired
from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about
the sixth hour{noon}.
004:007 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,
"Give me a drink."
