John - ch 4 v 1 - 20
- When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
- (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
- he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
- And he must needs pass through Samaria.
- So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
- and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
- There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
- For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
- The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
- Jesus answered and said unto unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
- The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?
- Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
- Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
- but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.
- The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
- Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
- The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
- for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
- The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
- Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
