John 4:4-18

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.
