John - ch 4 v 1 - 20
- When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,
- (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)
- He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
- And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
- He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
- Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
- There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
- For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
- Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
- Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
- The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?
- Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
- Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:
- But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.
- The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
- Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:
- For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.
- The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
- Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
- Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
