John 4:6
Compare all
4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that aJacob bgave to his son Joseph.  
6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by 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 to buy food.
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 aJews have no dealings with bSamaritans.  
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the agift 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 bliving 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 from 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 awhoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him bwill become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”  
15 aThe 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 well said, ‘I have no husband,’
18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, aI perceive that You are a prophet.  
20 Our fathers worshiped on athis mountain, and you Jews say that in bJerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”  
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming awhen you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.  
22 You worship awhat you do not know; we know what we worship, for bsalvation is of the Jews.  
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will aworship the Father in bspirit cand truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.  
24 aGod is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”  
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah ais coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, bHe will tell us all things.”  
26 Jesus said to her, a“I who speak to you am He.”
