John 4:9-22

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.)

10JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto her, If thou knewest the giftG1431 of GodG2316, and who it isG1510 that saith to thee, GiveG1325 me to drinkG4095; thou wouldest have askedG154 of him, and he would have givenG1325 thee livingG2198 waterG5204.

11The womanG1135 saith unto him, SirG2962, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well isG1510 deepG901: whence then hast thou that livingG2198 waterG5204?

12Art thou greaterG3173 than our fatherG3962 JacobG2384, who gaveG1325 us the well, and drankG4095 thereof himself, and his sonsG5207, and his cattle?

13JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto her, Every oneG3778 that drinketh of this waterG5204 shall thirstG1372 againG3825:

14but whosoever drinketh of the waterG5204 that I shall giveG1325 him shall never thirstG1372; but the waterG5204 that I shall giveG1325 him shall becomeG1096 in him a wellG4077 of waterG5204 springing up unto eternalG166 lifeG2222.

15The womanG1135 saith unto him, SirG2962, giveG1325 me this waterG5204, that I thirstG1372 not, neither come all the way hither to drawG501.

16Jesus saith unto her, GoG5217, call thy husbandG435, and comeG2064 hither.

17The womanG1135 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, I have no husbandG435. JesusG2424 saith unto her, Thou saidst wellG2573, I have no husbandG435:

18for thou hast had fiveG4002 husbandsG435; and he whom thou nowG3568 hast isG1510 not thy husbandG435: this hast thou saidG3004 truly.

19The womanG1135 saith unto him, SirG2962, I perceive that thou art a prophetG4396.

20Our fathersG3962 worshipped in this mountainG3735; and ye sayG3004, that in JerusalemG2414 isG1510 the placeG5117 whereG3699 menG3778 oughtG1163 to worshipG4352.

21JesusG2424 saith unto her, WomanG1135, believeG4100 me, the hourG5610 cometh, whenG3753 neither in this mountainG3735, nor in JerusalemG2414, shall ye worshipG4352 the FatherG3962.

22Ye worshipG4352 that which ye know not: we worshipG4352 that which we know; for salvationG4991 isG1510 from the JewsG2453.
