Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that He made and baptized more disciples than John, although Jesus Himself baptized no one, but his disciples did, He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. And it was necessary for Jesus to pass through Samaria. Then He entered into a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water: Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink. For His disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat. Then the woman of Samaria said unto Him, How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, for I am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give Me to drink; you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water.

The woman said unto Jesus, Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have You that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinks 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.

The woman said unto Jesus, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw. Jesus said unto her, Go, call your husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, you have said the truth that you do not have a husband For you have had had five husbands, and he whom you have now is not your husband: in this, you have spoken truthfully. The woman said unto Jesus, Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe Me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The woman said unto Jesus, I know that Messias comes, who is called Christ: when He comes, He will tell us all things. Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto you I am He. John 4 vs 1-26.
