15The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.
16Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.
17In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:
18You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.
19The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.
21Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.
23But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.
24God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.
25The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.
26Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.
27At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?
28Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,
29Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?
30So they went out of the town and came to him.
31While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.
32But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.
33So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?
34Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.
35You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.
36He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.
37In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.
38I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.
