John 4:1-19 in English

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),

³ he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

¹ Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus Himself wasn’t baptizing, but His disciples were),

³ He left Judea, and went back towards Galilee.

⁴ He had to go through Samaria.

⁵ He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph,

⁶ and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”

⁸ His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, since I’m a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew God’s gift, and who it is who says to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where could you get this living water from?

¹² Are You greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will get thirsty again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks the water that I will give will never, ever get thirsty. The water that I will give will become in that person a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming all the way here to draw water.”

¹⁶ Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus told her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now isn’t your husband. What you have said is quite true.”

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

² (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

³ He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵ Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹ Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),

³ he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

¹ At that time, many people were asking Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was we his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee religious group heard people say that Jesus was making more disciples than John the Baptizer and was baptizing them, they became very jealous.

³ When the Lord Jesus heard about that, so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him, he left Judea district, and went again with us disciples to Galilee district.

⁴ He knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria district.

⁵ So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria district. That was near the plot of ground that our ancestor Jacob had given to his son Joseph long ago.

⁶ The well that used to belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while we disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who lived there in Samaria came to get some water from the well. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me from the well some water to drink?” The woman knew that Jews did not like ◄ to touch things that belong to Samaritans/ to come near Samaritans►, (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans,)

⁹ so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ◄ I am surprised that you are asking me for a drink of water!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink of water?► RHQ”

¹⁰ Jesus replied to her, “If you (sg) knew what God wanted to give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”

¹¹ She thought he was talking about ordinary water. So she said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket or a rope with which to get water from the well, and the well is deep. So since you cannot get water from this well, where can you get that life-giving water?

¹² Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was enough good water so that his sons and his flocks of sheep and goats drank from it also. Do you claim that you are greater than Jacob, and because of that you can give us life-giving water?”

¹³ Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will later become thirsty again.

¹⁴ But those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. On the contrary, the water that I give them will become in their inner beings like a spring of water that will enable them to have eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”

¹⁶ Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”

¹⁷ She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.

¹⁸ It is also true that you have had five husbands one by one. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet because you are able to know people's secrets.

¹ Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

¹ Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

² (Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

³ He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.

⁴ And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

⁸ For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

⁹ The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

¹⁰ In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

¹¹ The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

¹⁷ In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

¹⁸ You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

¹⁹ The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John

² (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),

³ he left Judaea and went away again unto Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink

⁸ (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.

¹⁹ The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.

¹ When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,

² (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)

³ He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

⁴ And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.

⁹ Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:

¹⁴ But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.

¹⁵ The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

¹ Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and was baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),

³ He left Judea and went away into Galilee.

⁴ But He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ Therefore He came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, having become tired from the journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

⁸ (For His disciples had gone away into the city, that they might buy provisions).

⁹ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given to you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?

¹² Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water which I shall give him will by no means ever thirst again. But the water which I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in this you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

¹ Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John”

² (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),

³ He left Judea and went away into Galilee.

⁴ Now He needed to go through Samaria;

⁵ so He comes to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, being worn out from the journey, sat as He was by the well. It was about 6 p.m.

⁷ A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

⁹ So 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).

¹⁰ Jesus 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.”

¹¹ The 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?

¹² You 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.”

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but 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.”

¹⁵ The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water! so that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus says to her: “You stated correctly that you do not have a husband,

¹⁸ because you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is no husband of yours. You spoke the truth there!”

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

¹ When Jesus realized that the Pharisees had discovered that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,

² (although it wasn't Jesus who was baptizing, but his disciples),

³ he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

⁴ On the way he had to pass through Samaria.

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

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

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

⁸ for 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.

¹⁰ Jesus 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?”

¹³ Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.

¹⁴ But those who drink the water I give won't ever be thirsty again. The water I give becomes a bubbling spring of water inside them, bringing them eternal life.”

¹⁵ “Sir,” replied the woman, “Please give me this water so I won't be thirsty, and I won't have to come here to fetch water!”

¹⁶ “Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.

¹⁷ “I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.

¹⁸ “You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”

¹⁹ “I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.

¹ Nowe when the Lord knew, how the Pharises had heard, that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn,

² (Though Iesus himselfe baptized not: but his disciples)

³ Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.

⁴ And he must needes goe through Samaria.

⁵ Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.

⁶ And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre.

⁷ There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.

⁸ For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.

⁹ Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.

¹¹ The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?

¹² Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?

¹³ Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drinketh of the water that I shall giue him, shall neuer be more a thirst: but the water that I shall giue him, shalbe in him a well of water, springing vp into euerlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.

¹⁶ Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.

¹⁸ For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely.

¹⁹ The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

² (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

³ he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵ Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹ Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

¹ When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

² (though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)

³ he left Judaea, and went again to Galilee.

⁴ And he must necessarily pass through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with the journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;

¹⁴ but whoever drinketh of the water that I will give him, will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become within him a well of water springing up to everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

¹⁶ He saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, that thou hast no husband.

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

¹ Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptising more disciples than John

² (Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptised),

³ he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.

⁴ He had to pass through Samaria,

⁵ and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her — “Give me some to drink,”

⁸ For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

⁹ “How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

¹⁰ “If you knew of the gift of God,” replied Jesus, “and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me some water,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ “You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said; “where did you get that ‘living water?’

¹² Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!”

¹³ “All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be thirsty again;

¹⁴ but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst any more; but the water that I will give him will become a spring welling up within him — a source of eternal life.”

¹⁵ “Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”

¹⁶ “Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”

¹⁷ “I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,

¹⁸ “For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”

¹⁹ “I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.

¹ Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John

² (Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),

³ he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.

⁴ He had to pass through Samaria,

¹⁸ “For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”

¹⁹ “I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.

¹ Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees Separated had heard that Yeshua Salvation was making and baptizing more disciples than John Yah is gracious

² (although Yeshua Salvation himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

³ he left Judea Praise, and departed into Galilee District, Circuit.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria Watch-mountain.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria Watch-mountain, called Sychar Shoulder, near the parcel of ground that Jacob Supplanter gave to his son, Joseph May he add.

⁶ Jacob Supplanter’s well was there. Yeshua Salvation therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

⁷ A woman of Samaria Watch-mountain came to draw water. Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan person from Watch-mountain woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew Praiser, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan person from Watch-mountain woman?” (For Jews Praisers have no dealings with Samaritans people from Watch-mountain.)

¹⁰ Yeshua Salvation answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than Avinu ·our Father·, Jacob Supplanter, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?”

¹³ Yeshua Salvation answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Yeshua Salvation said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

¹ Assone as the Lorde had knowledge how the Pharises had hearde that Iesus made and baptised moo disciples then Iohn

² (though that Iesus him selfe baptised not: but his disciples)

⁴ And it was so that he must nedes goo thorowe Samaria.

⁵ Then came he to a cyte of Samaria called Sichar besydes the possession that Iacob gave to his sonne Ioseph.

⁶ And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then weryed in his iorney sate thus on the well. And it was about the sixte houre:

¹¹ The woman sayde vnto him. Syr thou hast no thinge to drawe with and the well is depe: from whence then hast thou that water of lyfe?

¹² Arte thou greater then oure father Iacob which gave vs the well and he him silfe dranke therof and his chyldren and his catell?

¹³ Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: whosoever drinketh of this water shall thurst agayne.

¹⁴ But whosoever shall drinke of the water that I shall geve him shall never be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geve him shalbe in him a well of water springinge vp in to everlastinge lyfe.

¹⁷ The woman answered and sayde to him: I have no husband. Iesus sayde to her. Thou hast well sayd I have no husbande.

¹⁸ For thou haste had five husbandes and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. That saydest thou truely.

¹⁹ The woman sayde vnto him: Syr I perceave that thou arte a prophet.

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?

¹² You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”

¹³ Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'

⁸ And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat.

⁹ Therefore 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.

¹⁰ Jesus 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.

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw, and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water?

¹² Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts.

¹³ Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sire, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The 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;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast now, is not thine husband. This thing thou saidest soothly.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.

⁷ And a woman came from Samaria, to draw water, (or And a woman of Samaria came to draw water). And Jesus saith to her, Give me (a) drink.

⁸ And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat (or to buy some food).

⁹ Therefore that woman of Samaria saith to him, How (is it that) thou, that art a Jew, askest of me (for) a drink, that am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews used not to deal with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me (a) drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water (or and then he would have given thee living water).

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw, and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water? (The woman said to him, Sir, thou hast nothing with which to draw up the water, and the well is deep; from where then would thou get this living water?)

¹² Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts. (Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well? and he, and his sons, and his beasts, all drank from it.)

¹³ Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst into without end; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life (or springing up for eternal life).

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sire (or Sir), give me this water, (so) that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and said, I have none husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband; The woman answered, and said, I have not an husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, For I have not an husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast now, is not thine husband. This thing thou saidest soothly (or Thou hast spoken truthfully).

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.

⁵ Therfor Jhesus cam in to a citee of Samarie, that is seid Sicar, bisidis the place, that Jacob yaf to Joseph, his sone.

⁶ And the welle of Jacob was there; and Jhesus was weri of the iourney, and sat thus vpon the welle. And the our was, as it were the sixte.

⁷ And a womman cam fro Samarie, to drawe watir. And Jhesus seith to hir, Yyue me drynk.

⁸ And hise disciplis weren gon in to the citee, to bie mete.

⁹ Therfor thilke womman of Samarie seith to him, Hou thou, `whanne thou art a Jewe, axist of me drynk, that am a womman of Samarie? for Jewis vsiden not to dele with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, If thou wistist the yifte of God, and who `he is, that seith to thee, Yyue me drynk, thou perauenture woldist haue axid of hym, and he schulde haue youun to thee quyk watir.

¹¹ The womman seith to him, Sire, thou hast not where ynne to drawe, and the pit is deep; wherof thanne hast thou quik watir?

¹² Whethir thou art grettere than oure fadir Jacob, that yaf to vs the pit? and he drank therof, and hise sones, and hise beestis.

¹³ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, Eche man that drynkith of this watir, schal thirste efte soone; but he that drynkith of the watir that Y schal yyue hym, schal not thirste with outen ende; but the watir that Y schal yyue hym,

¹⁷ The womman answerde, and seide, Y haue noon hosebonde. Jhesus seith to hir, Thou seidist wel, That Y haue noon hosebonde;

¹⁹ The womman seith to hym, Lord, Y se, that thou art a prophete.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

² (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

³ he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

⁴ and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

⁶ and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

⁷ there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 'Give me to drink;'

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, 'Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, 'Go, call thy husband, and come hither;'

¹⁷ the woman answered and said, 'I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, 'Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;

¹⁸ for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, 'Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;
