Fourth Sunday of Lent: The Samaritan Woman

John 4 :1 - 42

 

Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples. He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. But He needed to go through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink". For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 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. 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". The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? "Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?". Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,. "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life". The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw". Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here". The woman answered and said, "I have no husband" Jesus said to her, "You have well said, 'I have no husband,'. "for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly". The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. "Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship". Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such 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 Messiah is coming" who is called Christ. "When He comes, He will tell us all things". Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He". And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?". The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,. "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?". Then they went out of the city and came to Him. In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat". But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know". Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?". Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and [then] comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!. "And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. "For in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps'. "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors". And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did". So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. And many more believed because of His own word. Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard [Him] and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world".

أنجيل يوحنا 4 : 1 - 42

 فلما علم الرب ان الفريسيين سمعوا ان يسوع يصير و يعمد تلاميذ اكثر من يوحنا. مع ان يسوع نفسه لم يكن يعمد بل تلاميذه. ترك اليهودية و مضى ايضا الى الجليل. و كان لا بد له ان يجتاز السامرة. فاتى الى مدينة من السامرة يقال لها سوخار بقرب الضيعة التي وهبها يعقوب ليوسف ابنه. و كانت هناك بئر يعقوب فاذ كان يسوع قد تعب من السفر جلس هكذا على البئر و كان نحو الساعة السادسة. فجاءت امراة من السامرة لتستقي ماء فقال لها يسوع اعطيني لاشرب. لان تلاميذه كانوا قد مضوا الى المدينة ليبتاعوا طعاما. فقالت له المراة السامرية كيف تطلب مني لتشرب و انت يهودي و انا امراة سامرية لان اليهود لا يعاملون السامريين. اجاب يسوع و قال لها لو كنت تعلمين عطية الله و من هو الذي يقول لك اعطيني لاشرب لطلبت انت منه فاعطاك ماء حيا. قالت له المراة يا سيد لا دلو لك و البئر عميقة فمن اين لك الماء الحي. العلك اعظم من ابينا يعقوب الذي اعطانا البئر و شرب منها هو و بنوه و مواشيه. اجاب يسوع و قال لها كل من يشرب من هذا الماء يعطش ايضا. و لكن من يشرب من الماء الذي اعطيه انا فلن يعطش الى الابد بل الماء الذي اعطيه يصير فيه ينبوع ماء ينبع الى حياة ابدية. قالت له المراة يا سيد اعطني هذا الماء لكي لا اعطش و لا اتي الى هنا لاستقي. قال لها يسوع اذهبي و ادعي زوجك و تعالي الى ههنا. اجابت المراة و قالت ليس لي زوج قال لها يسوع حسنا قلت ليس لي زوج. لانه كان لك خمسة ازواج و الذي لك الان ليس هو زوجك هذا قلت بالصدق. قالت له المراة يا سيد ارى انك نبي. اباؤنا سجدوا في هذا الجبل و انتم تقولون ان في اورشليم الموضع الذي ينبغي ان يسجد فيه. قال لها يسوع يا امراة صدقيني انه تاتي ساعة لا في هذا الجبل و لا في اورشليم تسجدون للاب. انتم تسجدون لما لستم تعلمون اما نحن فنسجد لما نعلم لان الخلاص هو من اليهود. و لكن تاتي ساعة و هي الان حين الساجدون الحقيقيون يسجدون للاب بالروح و الحق لان الاب طالب مثل هؤلاء الساجدين له. الله روح و الذين يسجدون له فبالروح و الحق ينبغي ان يسجدوا. قالت له المراة انا اعلم ان مسيا الذي يقال له المسيح ياتي فمتى جاء ذاك يخبرنا بكل شيء.قال لها يسوع انا الذي اكلمك هو. و عند ذلك جاء تلاميذه و كانوا يتعجبون انه يتكلم مع امراة و لكن لم يقل احد ماذا تطلب او لماذا تتكلم معها. فتركت المراة جرتها و مضت الى المدينة و قالت للناس. هلموا انظروا انسانا قال لي كل ما فعلت العل هذا هو المسيح. فخرجوا من المدينة و اتوا اليه. و في اثناء ذلك ساله تلاميذه قائلين يا معلم كل. فقال لهم انا لي طعام لاكل لستم تعرفونه انتم.فقال التلاميذ بعضهم لبعض العل احدا اتاه بشيء لياكل.قال لهم يسوع طعامي ان اعمل مشيئة الذي ارسلني و اتمم عمله. اما تقولون انه يكون اربعة اشهر ثم ياتي الحصاد ها انا اقول لكم ارفعوا اعينكم و انظروا الحقول انها قد ابيضت للحصاد. و الحاصد ياخذ اجرة و يجمع ثمرا للحياة الابدية لكي يفرح الزارع و الحاصد معا. لانه في هذا يصدق القول ان واحدا يزرع و اخر يحصد. انا ارسلتكم لتحصدوا ما لم تتعبوا فيه اخرون تعبوا و انتم قد دخلتم على تعبهم. فامن به من تلك المدينة كثيرون من السامريين بسبب كلام المراة التي كانت تشهد انه قال لي كل ما فعلت. فلما جاء اليه السامريون سالوه ان يمكث عندهم فمكث هناك يومين. فامن به اكثر جدا بسبب كلامه. و قالوا للمراة اننا لسنا بعد بسبب كلامك نؤمن لاننا نحن قد سمعنا و نعلم ان هذا هو بالحقيقة المسيح مخلص العالم. و بعد اليومين خرج من هناك و مضى الى الجليل.

Thank you Father

 

Thank you, Father, for all You have given me -- much more than I could even count.
For sunlight that streams into my window and warms my weary heart.
For moonlight on the nights I called out to You and let You wash away my tears.
For people who love me when I seem most unlovable but when I need their love the most. For giving them the grace.
For holding my heart when it is trembling.
For being that guiding Light when I am lost in the dark, with nowhere to go.
For caring enough to send the very best.
For the peace that my prayers are answered.
For the power you give to such a weak soul as mine when I reach out and touch you. When I say "Dear God..." and You flow through me and suddenly everything makes sense again.
For taking away the confusion when my heart is aching and when I do not understand.
For soothing the fears that plague me so I can hardly move.
For putting a smile on my face and laughter in my heart at the strangest times.
For music which causes my very soul to sing and soar on the clouds towards You.
For eyes to see the beauty of Your world -- each towering tree and misty sunset, each smiling face.
For voices which communicate love. To a heart so dry and hungering, they are like water. For being the foremost of those voices, Lord, and the One who causes the rest to sing.
For the thrill of a new idea.
For the sweet serenity of a prayer answered -- a sweetness I hold close to me like a treasure,  and I say "My God loves me."
For loving me enough to not answer all my prayers.
For wisdom to know what's best for me, and the never-ending love to always dispose it.
For miracles, and the joy of knowing You ever deeper.
For loving me in the midst of my sin and bestowing blessings I could never deserve.
For the peace that infolds me with the simple knowledge that "Jesus cares."
For having the awesome power to move even the most formidable mountains. Mountains against which I struggle and rage and cry -- they are too big for me and I stand defeated. But You who made the stars and the earth and all the heavens can move them with the snap of a finger. And leave me awestruck with nothing to do but bow down to Your majesty with "Praise the Lord!" on my lips. And you say,  "I'm not through with you yet, my child. Show me the next mountain..."
For the great adventure of a life lived with You!
For being there when my spirit cries
For wiping the tears away from my eyes
For holding my heart close
For loving me when I need it the most
For touching me with moonlight when I call out to You in the empty night
For the stars and the peace and for my tears and the feeling of You that surrounds me, soothing my fears
For the times when You have sustained me and I didn't even know it was You, too blind to see that over all I do is the guiding touch of Your hand Jesus
