9So the Samaritan woman says to Him, “How can you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (for Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
10Jesus answered and said to her: “If you knew the gift of God, and who is the one saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11The woman says to Him: “Sir, you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep; so where do you get this living water?
12You aren't greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13Jesus answered and said to her: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never ever thirst; rather, the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up into eternal life.”
15The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water! so that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”

19The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
