1Nowe when the Lord knew, how the Pharises had heard, that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn,
2(Though Iesus himselfe baptized not: but his disciples)
3Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.
4And he must needes goe through Samaria.
5Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.
6And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre.
7There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.
8For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.
9Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.
10Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.
11The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?
12Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?
13Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:
14But whosoeuer drinketh of the water that I shall giue him, shall neuer be more a thirst: but the water that I shall giue him, shalbe in him a well of water, springing vp into euerlasting life.
15The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.
16Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.
18For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely.
19The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.
