John 4:13-32

¹³Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again:

¹⁴But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth.

¹⁹The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²²Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

²⁴God is a Spirit: and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh, who is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am he .

²⁷And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

²⁸The woman then left her waterpot, and went into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹Come, see a man who hath told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

³⁰Then they went out of the city, and came to him.

³¹In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

³²But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
