John 4:1-9

1WhenG5613 thereforeG3767 the Lord knewG1097 that the PhariseesG5330 had heardG191 that JesusG2424 was makingG4160 and baptizingG907 moreG4183 disciplesG3101 than JohnG2491

2(although JesusG2424 himself baptizedG907 not, but his disciplesG3101),

3he leftG863 Judæa, and departedG565 againG3825 into GalileeG1056.

4And he must needs passG1330 through SamariaG4540.

5So he cometh to a cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that JacobG2384 gaveG1325 to his sonG5207 JosephG2501:

6and Jacob’s wellG4077 wasG1510 there. JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, beingG1510 wearied with his journey, sat thus by the wellG4077. It wasG1510 about the sixthG1623 hourG5610.

7There cometh a womanG1135 of SamariaG4540 to drawG501 waterG5204: JesusG2424 saith unto her, GiveG1325 me to drinkG4095.

8For his disciplesG3101 were goneG565 awayG565 into the cityG4172 to buyG59 foodG5160.

9The SamaritanG4542 womanG1135 thereforeG3767 saith unto him, HowG4459 isG1510 it that thou, beingG1510 a JewG2453, askest drinkG4095 of me, who amG1510 a SamaritanG4542 womanG1135? (For JewsG2453 have no dealings with Samaritans.)
