John 4:3-10

³he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

⁴On the way he had to pass through Samaria.

⁵So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.

⁶Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.

⁷A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”

⁸for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.

⁹“You're a Jew, and I'm a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” the woman replied, for Jews don't associate with Samaritans.

¹⁰Jesus answered her, “If you only recognized God's gift, and who is asking you, ‘Please could you give me a drink?’ you would have asked him and he would have given you the water of life.”
