John 4:1-26 — Jesus Talks with a Samaritan Woman
John.4.1-26
1Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2—although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were— 3he left Judea and went away again to Galilee. 4Now he had to pass through Samaria. 5So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6Jacob's spring was there. So Jesus, being wearied from his journey, sat down by the spring. It was about the sixth hour . 7A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” 8(For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.) 9Therefore the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, 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 it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” 11The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where then do you get this living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who 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 be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. Instead, the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." 15The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come all the way here to draw water.” 16He said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.” 17The woman answered and said , “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, "You have spoken well in saying, 'I have no husband,' 18for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true." 19The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain , and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship." 21Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." 25The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes, he will declare all things to us.” 26Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
