4:1 主知道法利賽人聽見他收門徒,施洗,比約翰還多,
4:2 (其實不是耶穌親自施洗,乃是他的門徒施洗,)
4:3 他就離了猶太,又往加利利去。
4:4 必須經過撒馬利亞,
4:5 於是到了撒馬利亞的一座城,名叫敘加,靠近雅各給他兒子約瑟的那塊地。
4:6 在那裡有雅各井;耶穌因走路困乏,就坐在井旁。那時約有午正。
4:7 有一個撒馬利亞的婦人來打水。耶穌對她說:「請你給我水喝。」
4:8 (那時門徒進城買食物去了。)
4:9 撒馬利亞的婦人對他說:「你既是猶太人,怎麼向我一個撒馬利亞婦人要水喝呢?」原來猶太人和撒馬利亞人沒有來往。
4:10 耶穌回答說:「你若知道上帝的恩賜,和對你說『給我水喝』的是誰,你必早求他,他也必早給了你活水。」
4:11 婦人說:「先生,沒有打水的器具,井又深,你從哪裡得活水呢?
4:12 我們的祖宗雅各將這井留給我們,他自己和兒子並牲畜也都喝這井裡的水,難道你比他還大嗎?」
4:13 耶穌回答說:「凡喝這水的還要再渴;
4:14 人若喝我所賜的水就永遠不渴。我所賜的水要在他裡頭成為泉源,直湧到永生。」
4:15 婦人說:「先生,請把這水賜給我,叫我不渴,也不用來這麼遠打水。」
4:16 耶穌說:「你去叫你丈夫也到這裡來。」
4:17 婦人說:「我沒有丈夫。」耶穌說:「你說沒有丈夫是不錯的。
4:18 你已經有五個丈夫,你現在有的並不是你的丈夫。你這話是真的。」
4:19 婦人說:「先生,我看出你是先知。
4:20 我們的祖宗在這山上禮拜,你們倒說,應當禮拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。」
4:21 耶穌說:「婦人,你當信我。時候將到,你們拜父,也不在這山上,也不在耶路撒冷。
4:22 你們所拜的,你們不知道;我們所拜的,我們知道,因為救恩是從猶太人出來的。
4:23 時候將到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心靈和誠實拜他,因為父要這樣的人拜他。
4:24 上帝是個靈(或無個字),所以拜他的必須用心靈和誠實拜他。」
4:25 婦人說:「我知道彌賽亞(就是那稱為基督的)要來;他來了,必將一切的事都告訴我們。」
4:26 耶穌說:「這和你說話的就是他!」
Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
****************
我們的信仰中心是主耶穌,你認為「祂是誰」,就可以判定我們的信仰是不是正確!
在主耶穌與撒馬利亞婦人的對話中,主耶穌是一步一步的引導婦人來思考「祂是誰」。從請婦人打水給她喝開始,就要婦人注意祂是誰。雖然婦人抱怨祂是猶太人怎能向她要水喝,耶穌回答說:「你若知道上帝的恩賜,和對你說『給我水喝』的是誰,你必早求他,他也必早給了你活水。」
然後從水談到宗教的問題,當婦人說:「我知道彌賽亞(就是那稱為基督的)要來;他來了,必將一切的事都告訴我們。」
主耶穌就直接了當說:「這和你說話的就是他!」
同樣,今日我們要清楚主耶穌是誰?答案就是:「主耶穌就是彌賽亞,也就是基督!」
也因此,我們除了要認主耶穌是基督之外,更要有正確的「基督論」,歡迎來閱讀「基督論」(https://kk1591.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_8491.html )!
