John 4:9-27

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.)1

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. 14ButG1161 whoeverG3739G302 drinksG4095 theG3588 waterG5204 IG1473 giveG1325 himG846 will never thirstG3756G3361G1372G1519G3588G165. IndeedG235, theG3588 waterG5204 I giveG1325 himG846 will becomeG1096 inG1722 himG846 a fountG4077 of waterG5204 springing upG242 toG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222.”

15TheG3588 womanG1135 saidG3004 toG4314 HimG846, “SirG2962, giveG1325 meG1473 thisG3778 waterG5204 so thatG2443 I will not get thirstyG3361G1372 and have to keep comingG1330 hereG1759 to drawG501 water.”

16Jesus toldG3004 herG846, “GoG5217, callG5455 yourG4771 husbandG435 andG2532 comeG2064 back.”

17“I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435,” theG3588 womanG1135 repliedG611G2532G2036G846.

JesusG2424 saidG3004 to herG846, “You areG2036 correct to sayG2573 thatG3754 you haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435. 18In factG1063, you have hadG2192 fiveG4002 husbandsG435, andG2532 the manG3739 you now haveG2192G3568 isG1510 notG3756 yourG4771 husbandG435. You have spokenG2046 truthfullyG227.”

19“SirG2962,” theG3588 womanG1135 saidG3004, “I seeG2334 thatG3754 YouG4771 areG1510 a prophetG4396. 20OurG1473 fathersG3962 worshipedG4352 onG1722 thisG3778 mountainG3735, butG2532 youG4771 Jews sayG3004 thatG3754 theG3588 placeG5117 whereG3699 one mustG1163 worshipG4352 isG1510 inG1722 JerusalemG2414.”

21“BelieveG4100 MeG1473, womanG1135,” JesusG2424 repliedG3004, “a timeG5610 is comingG2064 whenG3753 you will worshipG4352 theG3588 FatherG3962 neitherG3777 onG1722 thisG3778 mountainG3735 norG3777 inG1722 JerusalemG2414. 22YouG4771 worshipG4352 whatG3739 you do not knowG3756G1492; weG1473 worshipG4352 whatG3739 we do knowG1492, forG3754 salvationG4991 isG1510 fromG1537 theG3588 JewsG2453. 23ButG235 a timeG5610 is comingG2064 andG2532 has nowG3568 comeG1510 whenG3753 theG3588 trueG228 worshipersG4353 will worshipG4352 theG3588 FatherG3962 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225, forG1063 theG3588 FatherG3962 is seekingG2212 suchG5108 as theseG3588 to worshipG4352 HimG846. 24GodG2316 is SpiritG4151, andG2532 His worshipersG4352 mustG1163 worshipG4352 HimG846 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225.”

25TheG3588 womanG1135 saidG3004, “I knowG1492 thatG3754 MessiahG3323” (calledG3004 ChristG5547) “is comingG2064. WhenG3752 HeG1565 comesG2064, He will explainG312 everythingG537 to usG1473.”

26

JesusG2424 answeredG3004, “IG1473 whoG3588 speakG2980 to youG4771 amG1510 He.”

27Just thenG2532G1909G3778 HisG846 disciplesG3101 returnedG2064 andG2532 were surprisedG2296 thatG3754 He was speakingG2980 withG3326 a womanG1135. ButG3305 no oneG3762 askedG2036 Him, “WhatG5101 do You wantG2212 from her?” orG2228 “WhyG5101 are You talkingG2980 withG3326 herG846?”
