He whois of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in anearthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all.32 He bears witness to what he has seen and heard,yet no one receives his testimony.33 Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal tothis, that God is true.34 For he whom God has sent utters the words ofGod, for he gives the Spirit without measure.35 The Father loves the Son and has given allthings into his hand.36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, butthe wrath of God remains on him.4Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees hadheard that Jesus was making and baptizing moredisciples than John2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, butonly his disciples),3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.SAN JUAN 4:2614694 Y le era necesario pasar por Samaria.5 Vino, pues, a una ciudad de Samaria llamadaSicar, junto a la heredad que Jacob dio a su hijo José.6 Y estaba allí el pozo de Jacob. Entonces Jesús,cansado del camino, se sentó así junto al pozo. Eracomo la hora sexta.¶ 7 Vino una mujer de Samaria a sacar agua; y Jesúsle dijo: Dame de beber.8 Pues sus discípulos habían ido a la ciudad acomprar de comer.9 La mujer samaritana le dijo: ¿Cómo tú, siendojudío, me pides a mí de beber, que soy mujer samaritana? Porque judíos y samaritanos no se tratan entresí.10 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Si conocieras el donde Dios, y quién es el que te dice: Dame de beber; túle pedirías, y él te daría agua viva.11 La mujer le dijo: Señor, no tienes con quésacarla, y el pozo es hondo. ¿De dónde, pues, tienes elagua viva?12 ¿Acaso eres tú mayor que nuestro padre Jacob,que nos dio este pozo, del cual bebieron él, sus hijos ysus ganados?13 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Cualquiera quebebiere de esta agua, volverá a tener sed;14 mas el que bebiere del agua que yo le daré, notendrá sed jamás; sino que el agua que yo le daré seráen él una fuente de agua que salte para vida eterna.15 La mujer le dijo: Señor, dame esa agua, para queno tenga yo sed, ni venga aquí a sacarla.¶ 16 Jesús le dijo: Ve, llama a tu marido, y ven acá.17 Respondió la mujer y dijo: No tengo marido.Jesús le dijo: Bien has dicho: No tengo marido;18 porque cinco maridos has tenido, y el que ahoratienes no es tu marido; esto has dicho con verdad.19 Le dijo la mujer: Señor, me parece que tú eresprofeta.20 Nuestros padres adoraron en este monte, yvosotros decís que en Jerusalén es el lugar donde sedebe adorar.21 Jesús le dijo: Mujer, créeme, que la hora vienecuando ni en este monte ni en Jerusalén adoraréis alPadre.22 Vosotros adoráis lo que no sabéis; nosotros adoramos lo que sabemos; porque la salvación viene de losjudíos.23 Mas la hora viene, y ahora es, cuando los verdaderos adoradores adorarán al Padre en espíritu yen verdad; porque también el Padre tales adoradoresbusca que le adoren.24 Dios es Espíritu; y los que le adoran, en espírituy en verdad es necesario que adoren.25 Le dijo la mujer: Sé que ha de venir el Mesías,llamado el Cristo; cuando él venga nos declarará todaslas cosas.26 Jesús le dijo: Yo soy, el que habla contigo.JOHN 4:264 And he had to pass through Samaria.5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar,near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.6 Jacob’s well was there; so Jesus, wearied as hewas from his journey, was sitting beside the well. Itwas about the sixth hour.1¶ 7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water.Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city tobuy food.)9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How isit that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a womanof Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings withSamaritans.)10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift ofGod, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me adrink,’ you would have asked him, and he would havegiven you living water.”11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothingto draw water with, and the well is deep. Where doyou get that living water?12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gaveus the well and drank from it himself, as did his sonsand his livestock.”13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of thiswater will be thirsty again,14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will givehim will never be thirsty again.2 The water that I willgive him will become in him a spring of water wellingup to eternal life.”15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water,so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here todraw water.”¶ 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, andcome here.”17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘Ihave no husband’;18 for you have had five husbands, and the one younow have is not your husband. What you have said istrue.”19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that youare a prophet.20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, butyou say that in Jerusalem is the place where peopleought to worship.”21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, thehour is coming when neither on this mountain nor inJerusalem will you worship the Father.22 You worship what you do not know; we worshipwhat we know, for salvation is from the Jews.23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, whenthe true worshipers will worship the Father in spiritand truth, for the Father is seeking such people toworship him.24 God is spirit, and those who worship him mustworship in spirit and truth.”25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiahis coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes,he will tell us all things.”26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”Sample spread (65% actual size)WINTER 2022

These were allies ofAbram. 14 When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forthhis trained men, born in his house, 318 ofthem, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. 15 Andhe divided his forces against them by night,he and his servants, and defeated them and141110give it to you.” 18 So Abram moved his tent andcame and settled by the oaks1 of Mamre, whichare at Hebron, and there he built an altar tothe Lord.pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.Then he brought back all the possessions,and also brought back his kinsman Lotwith his possessions, and the women andthe people.16Abram Blessed by Melchizedek17 After his return from the defeat ofChedorlaomer and the kings who were withhim, the king of Sodom went out to meethim at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’sValley). 18 And Melchizedek king of Salembrought out bread and wine. (He was priestof God Most High.) 19 And he blessed himand said,20“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,Possessor3 of heaven and earth;and blessed be God Most High,who has delivered your enemies intoyour hand!”And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Giveme the persons, but take the goods for yourself.”22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I havelifted my hand4 to the Lord, God Most High,Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that I wouldnot take a thread or a sandal strap or anythingthat is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have madeAbram rich.’ 24 I will take nothing but what theyoung men have eaten, and the share of themen who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol, andMamre take their share.”God’s Covenant with AbramAfter these things the word of the Lordcame to Abram in a vision: “Fear not,Abram, I am your shield; your reward shallbe very great.” 2 But Abram said, “O Lord God,what will you give me, for I continue5 childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ofDamascus?” 3 And Abram said, “Behold, youhave given me no offspring, and a member ofmy household will be my heir.” 4 And behold,the word of the Lord came to him: “This manshall not be your heir; your very own son6 shallbe your heir.” 5 And he brought him outside andsaid, “Look toward heaven, and number thestars, if you are able to number them.” Then hesaid to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 6 Andhe believed the Lord, and he counted it to himas righteousness.7 And he said to him, “I am the Lord whobrought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to151 Or terebinths 2 Or terebinths 3 Or Creator; also verse 22 4 Or I have taken a solemn oath 5 Or I shall die 6 Hebrew what will come out of your own loins10give you this land to possess.” 8 But he said, “OLord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” 9 He said to him, “Bring me a heiferthree years old, a female goat three years old, aram three years old, a turtledove, and a youngpigeon.” 10 And he brought him all these, cutthem in half, and laid each half over againstthe other. But he did not cut the birds in half.11 And when birds of prey came down on thecarcasses, Abram drove them away.12 As the sun was going down, a deep sleepfell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and greatdarkness fell upon him. 13 Then the Lord saidto Abram, “Know for certain that your offspringwill be sojourners in a land that is not theirsand will be servants there, and they will beafflicted for four hundred years. 14 But I willbring judgment on the nation that they serve,and afterward they shall come out with greatpossessions. 15 As for you, you shall go to yourfathers in peace; you shall be buried in a goodold age. 16 And they shall come back here inthe fourth generation, for the iniquity of theAmorites is not yet complete.”17 When the sun had gone down and it wasdark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flamingtorch passed between these pieces. 18 On thatday the Lord made a covenant with Abram,saying, “To your offspring I give1 this land,from the river of Egypt to the great river, theriver Euphrates, 19 the land of the Kenites, theKenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites,the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, theCanaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”Sarai and HagarNow Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne himno children. She had a female Egyptianservant whose name was Hagar. 2 And Saraisaid to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to myservant; it may be that I shall obtain children2by her.” And Abram listened to the voice ofSarai. 3 So, after Abram had lived ten years inthe land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, tookHagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave herto Abram her husband as a wife. 4 And he wentin to Hagar, and she conceived. And when shesaw that she had conceived, she looked withcontempt on her mistress.3 5 And Sarai said toAbram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! Igave my servant to your embrace, and when she16G E N E S I S 17:6GENESIS 17:6saw that she had conceived, she looked on mewith contempt. May the Lord judge betweenyou and me!” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold,your servant is in your power; do to her as youplease.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, andshe fled from her.7 The angel of the Lord found her by aspring of water in the wilderness, the spring onthe way to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, servantof Sarai, where have you come from and whereare you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from mymistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said toher, “Return to your mistress and submit toher.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, “Iwill surely multiply your offspring so that theycannot be numbered for multitude.” 11 And theangel of the Lord said to her,12“ Behold, you are pregnantand shall bear a son.You shall call his name Ishmael,4because the Lord has listened to youraffliction.He shall be a wild donkey of a man,his hand against everyoneand everyone’s hand against him,and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”13So she called the name of the Lord who spoketo her, “You are a God of seeing,”5 for she said,“Truly here I have seen him who looks afterme.”6 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahairoi;7 it lies between Kadesh and Bered.15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abramcalled the name of his son, whom Hagar bore,Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old whenHagar bore Ishmael to Abram.Abraham and the Covenant of CircumcisionWhen Abram was ninety-nine years oldthe Lord appeared to Abram and said tohim, “I am God Almighty;8 walk before me, andbe blameless, 2 that I may make my covenantbetween me and you, and may multiply yougreatly.” 3 Then Abram fe
