John 4:5-11

Jesus and the Woman of Samaria

⁵ So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field _e that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. ⁶ Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, _f wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. ₁

⁷ A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, _f "Give me a drink." ⁸ (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) ⁹ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?" ( _g For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ¹⁰ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you _h living water." ¹¹ The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?
