3he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
4And it behooved him to pass by Samaria.
5Therefore Jesus came into a city of Samaria, that is called Sychar, beside the place or the field that Jacob gave to Joseph, his son.
6And the well of Jacob was there; and Jesus was weary of the journey, and sat thus upon the well. And the hour was, as it were the sixth.
7And a woman came from Samaria, to draw water. And Jesus saith to her, Give me drink.
8And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat.
9Therefore that woman of Samaria saith to him, How thou, that art a Jew, askest of me a drink, that am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews used not to deal with the Samaritans.
10Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water.
11The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw, and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water?
12Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts.
13Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
14but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst without end; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.
15The woman saith to him, Sire, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17The woman answered, and said, I have none husband or I have not an husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband or I have not an husband;
18for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast now, is not thine husband. This thing thou saidest soothly.
19The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.
20Our fathers worshipped in this hill, and ye say, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it behooveth to worship.
21Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe thou to me, for the hour shall come, when neither in this hill, neither in Jerusalem, ye shall worship the Father.
22Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of the Jews.
23But the time is come, and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him.
