The Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, to drink? for the Jews have no fellowship with the Samaritans.

The Lord Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and Who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' then you yourself would ask Him, and He would give you living water.'

The woman said to Him, "Lord! Thou hast nothing with which to draw, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it, and his children, and his cattle?

The Lord Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never thirst. but the water that I give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.

The woman said to Him, "Lord! Give me this water, that I may not be thirsty, and that I may not come hither to draw.

The Lord Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband and come hither."

The woman answered: I have no husband.

The Lord Jesus said to her, "You have said the truth that you have no husband." Thou hast had five husbands, and the one whom thou hast now is not thy husband; You said it fairly.

The woman said to Him, "Lord! I see that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and you say that the place where we should worship is in Jerusalem.

The Lord Jesus said to her, "Believe me, the time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem." You do not know what you are bowing to; but we know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews. But the time will come, and has already come, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

The woman said to Him, "I know that the Messiah is coming, that is, Christ; when He comes, He will tell us all things.

The Lord Jesus said to her, "It is I who speak to you."

At that time His disciples came and were amazed that He was talking to a woman; yet not one said, What do you require? or, "What are you talking to her about?"

Then the woman left her waterpot and went into the city, and said to the people, "Go and see the man who told me all that I have done: is not he the Christ? They went out of the city and went to Him.
