New International Reader's Version

John 4:26-34 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

26. Then Jesus said, "I, the one speaking to you, am he."

27. Just then Jesus' disciples returned. They were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want from her?" No one asked, "Why are you talking with her?"

28. The woman left her water jar and went back to the town. She said to the people,

29. "Come. See a man who told me everything I've ever done. Could this be the Christ?"

30. The people came out of the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31. His disciples were saying to him, "Rabbi, eat something!"

32. But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

33. Then his disciples asked each other, "Did someone bring him food?"

34. Jesus said, "My food is to do what my Father sent me to do. My food is to finish his work.
