John 4:2-10

²(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)

³He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

⁴And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.

⁵He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.

⁸For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.

⁹Then 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.

¹⁰Jesus 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.
