John 4:1-13

1WhenG5613 JesusG2424 realizedG1097 thatG3754 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 were awareG191 He1 was gainingG4160 andG2532 baptizingG907 moreG4119 disciplesG3101 thanG2228 JohnG2491 2(althoughG2544 it was notG3756 JesusG2424 whoG846 baptizedG907, butG235 HisG846 disciplesG3101), 3He leftG863 JudeaG2449 andG2532 returnedG565G3825 toG1519 GalileeG1056.

4NowG1161 HeG846 hadG1163 to passG1330 throughG1223 SamariaG4540. 5SoG3767 He cameG2064 toG1519 a townG4172 of SamariaG4540 calledG3004 SycharG4965, nearG4139 theG3588 plot of groundG5564 thatG3739 JacobG2384 had givenG1325 toG3588 hisG846 sonG5207 JosephG2501. 6SinceG1161 Jacob’sG2384 wellG4077 wasG1510 thereG1563, JesusG2424, wearyG2872 fromG1537 His journeyG3597, sat downG2516 byG1909 theG3588 wellG4077. It wasG1510 aboutG5613 the sixthG1623 hourG5610.2

7When a SamaritanG1537G3588G4540 womanG1135 cameG2064 to drawG501 waterG5204, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to herG846, “GiveG1325 MeG1473 a drinkG4095.” 8(HisG846 disciplesG3101 had goneG565 intoG1519 theG3588 townG4172 toG2443 buyG59 foodG5160.)

9“You areG1510 a JewG2453,” saidG3004 theG3588 womanG1135. “HowG4459 can YouG4771 ask forG154 a drinkG4095 fromG3844 meG1473, a SamaritanG4542 womanG1135?” (ForG1063 JewsG2453 do not associateG3756G4798 with SamaritansG4541.)3

10JesusG2424 answeredG611G2532G2036G846, “IfG1487 you knewG1492 theG3588 giftG1431 of GodG2316 andG2532 whoG5101 isG1510 askingG3004 youG4771 for a drinkG4095, youG4771 would have askedG302G154 HimG846, andG2532 He would have givenG302G1325 youG4771 livingG2198 waterG5204.”

11“SirG2962,” theG3588 womanG1135 repliedG3004, “You haveG2192 nothingG3777 to draw withG502 andG2532 theG3588 wellG5421 isG1510 deepG901. WhereG4159 thenG3767 will You getG2192 this livingG2198 waterG5204? 12AreG1510G3361 YouG4771 greater thanG3173 ourG1473 fatherG3962 JacobG2384, whoG3739 gaveG1325 usG1473 this wellG5421 andG2532 drankG4095 fromG1537 itG846 himselfG846, as did hisG846 sonsG5207 andG2532 hisG846 livestockG2353?”

13JesusG2424 saidG2036 to herG846, “EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 drinksG4095 thisG3778 waterG5204 will be thirstyG1372 againG3825.
