John 4:4-10

4Now He had to go through Samaria.

5So He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

6and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (noon).

7Then a woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink”—

8For His disciples had gone off into the city to buy food—

9The Samaritan woman asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)

10Jesus answered her, “If you knew [about] God’s gift [of eternal life], and who it is who says, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him [instead], and He would have given you living water (eternal life).”
