John 4:2-9

²(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),

³he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.

⁴He had to pass through Samaria,

⁵and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.

⁷A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her — “Give me some to drink,”

⁸For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

⁹“How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
