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.”
11“Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.
12“Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock. Are you greater than he?”

24God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”
26Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”
