First Reading

出埃及记 17:3-7

17:3	所以那个地方的人们口渴, 由于缺水, 他们向摩西发怨言, 说: “你为什么让我们离开埃及, 从而杀死我们和我们的孩子, 还有我们的牛, 口渴?”
17:4	于是摩西向耶和华呼求, 说: “我该怎样对待这些人呢？? 再过一会儿，他们就会用石头砸死我。”
17:5	耶和华对摩西说: “走在人民前面, 并带上以色列的一些长老. 并把工作人员握在手中, 你用它击打河流, 并推进.
17:6	洛, 我会站在你面前的那个地方, 在何烈山磐石上. 你将击打岩石, 水会从中流出来, 使百姓可以喝。”摩西在以色列长老面前这样做了.
17:7	他把那个地方的名字叫做“诱惑”,’因为以色列人的争论, 因为他们试探了主, 说: “主与我们同在吗？, 或不?”

二读

The Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans 5:1-2, 5-8

5:1	所以, 因信称义, 让我们与上帝和好, 通过我们的主耶稣基督.
5:2	因为借着他，我们也因信得着这恩典, 我们坚定不移, 并荣耀, 盼望神儿女的荣耀.
5:3	不仅如此, 但我们也在苦难中找到荣耀, 知道患难磨忍耐,
5:4	耐心导致证明, 但真正的证明会带来希望,
5:5	但希望并非空穴来风, 因为神的爱借着圣灵浇灌在我们心里, 谁给了我们.
5:6	然而，为什么基督, 趁我们还体弱多病, 在适当的时候, 为不虔诚的人受死?
5:7	现在可能有人勉强愿意为正义而死, 例如, 也许有人敢为好人而死.
5:8	但上帝在这方面表明了他对我们的爱, 当我们还是罪人时, 在适当的时候,

福音

约翰 4:5-42

4:1	所以, when Jesus realized that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made more disciples and baptized more than John,
4:2	(though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but only his disciples)
4:3	he left behind Judea, and he traveled again to Galilee.
4:4	Now he needed to cross through Samaria.
4:5	所以, he went into a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the estate which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
4:6	And Jacob’s well was there. And so Jesus, being tired from the journey, was sitting in a certain way on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
4:7	A woman of Samaria arrived to draw water. 耶稣对她说, “Give me to drink.”
4:8	For his disciples had gone into the city in order to buy food.
4:9	所以, that Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are requesting a drink from me, though I am a Samaritan woman?” For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.
4:10	Jesus responded and said to her: “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give me to drink,’ perhaps you would have made a request of him, and he would have given you living water.”
4:11	The woman said to him: “主, you do not have anything with which to draw water, and the well is deep. From where, 然后, do you have living water?
4:12	一定, you are not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and who drank from it, with his sons and his cattle?”
4:13	Jesus responded and said to her: “All who drink from this water will thirst again. But whoever shall drink from the water that I will give to him will not thirst for eternity.
4:14	反而, the water that I will give to him will become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.”
4:15	The woman said to him, “主, give me this water, so that I may not thirst and may not come here to draw water.”
4:16	耶稣对她说, “去, call your husband, and return here.”
4:17	The woman responded and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her: “You have spoken well, in saying, ‘I have no husband.’
4:18	For you have had five husbands, but he whom you have now is not your husband. You have spoken this in truth.”
4:19	The woman said to him: “主, I see that you are a Prophet.
4:20	Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
4:21	耶稣对她说: “女士, believe me, the hour is coming when you shall worship the Father, neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
4:22	You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know. For salvation is from the Jews.
4:23	But the hour is coming, and it is now, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeks such persons who may worship him.
4:24	God is Spirit. 所以, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
4:25	The woman said to him: “I know that the Messiah is coming (who is called the Christ). 进而, when he will have arrived, he will announce everything to us.”
4:26	耶稣对她说: “I am he, the one who is speaking with you.”
4:27	And then his disciples arrived. And they wondered that he was speaking with the woman. Yet no one said: “What are you seeking?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”
4:28	And so the woman left behind her water jar and went into the city. And she said to the men there:
4:29	“Come and see a man who has told me all the things that I have done. Is he not the Christ?”
4:30	所以, they went out of the city and came to him.
4:31	同时, the disciples petitioned him, 说, “Rabbi, eat.”
4:32	But he said to them, “I have food to eat which you do not know.”
4:33	所以, the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”
4:34	耶稣对他们说: “My food is to do the will of the One who sent me, so that I may perfect his work.
4:35	Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and then the harvest arrives?’ Behold, 我对你说: Lift up your eyes and look at the countryside; for it is already ripe for the harvest.
4:36	For he who reaps, receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
4:37	For in this the word is true: that it is one who sows, and it is another who reaps.
4:38	I have sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
4:39	Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him, because of the word of the woman who was offering testimony: “For he told me all the things that I have done.”
4:40	所以, when the Samaritans had come to him, they petitioned him to lodge there. And he lodged there for two days.
4:41	And many more believed in him, because of his own word.
4:42	And they said to the woman: “Now we believe, not because of your speech, but because we ourselves have heard him, and so we know that he is truly the Savior of the world.”
