John 4:4-42

4And He hadG1163 to passG1330 throughG1330G1223 1SamariaG4540. 5SoG3767 He cameG2064 to a cityG4172 of 2SamariaG4540 calledG3004 SycharG4965, nearG4139 3the parcelG5564 of groundG5564 that 4JacobG2384 gaveG1325 to his sonG5207 JosephG2501; 6and Jacob’sG2384 wellG4077 was thereG1563. SoG3767 JesusG2424, being weariedG2872 from His journeyG3597, was sittingG2516 thusG3779 by the wellG4077. It was aboutG5613 5the sixthG1623 hourG5610.

7There cameG2064 a womanG1135 of SamariaG4540 to drawG501 waterG5204. JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “GiveG1325 Me a drinkG4095.” 8For His 6disciplesG3101 had goneG565 awayG565 into 7the cityG4172 to buyG59 foodG5160. 9ThereforeG3767 the 8SamaritanG4542 womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “HowG4459 is it that You, beingG1510 a JewG2453, askG154 me for a drinkG4095 since I amG1510 a SamaritanG4542 womanG1135?” (For 9JewsG2453 haveG4798 noG3756 dealingsG4798 with SamaritansG4541.) 10JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to her, “IfG1487 you knewG3609 the giftG1431 of GodG2316, and whoG5101 it is who saysG3004 to you, ‘GiveG1325 Me a drinkG4095,’ you would have askedG154 Him, and He would have givenG1325 you 10livingG2198 waterG5204.” 11She saidG3004 to Him, “11SirG2962, You haveG2192 nothingG3777 to drawG502 with and the wellG5421 is deepG901; whereG4159 thenG3767 do You getG2192 that 12livingG2198 water? 12You are not greaterG3173 than our fatherG3962 JacobG2384, are You, whoG3739 13gaveG1325 us the wellG5421, and drankG4095 of it himselfG846 and his sonsG5207 and his cattleG2353?” 13JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to her, “EveryoneG3956 who drinksG4095 of thisG3778 waterG5204 will thirstG1372 againG3825; 14but whoeverG3739G302 drinksG4095 of the waterG5204 that I will giveG1325 him 14shall neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372; but the waterG5204 that I will giveG1325 him will becomeG1096 in him a wellG4077 of waterG5204 springingG242 up to 15eternalG166 lifeG2222.”

15The womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “16SirG2962, 17giveG1325 me thisG3778 waterG5204, soG2443 I will not be thirstyG1372 norG3366 comeG1330 all the way hereG1759 to drawG501.” 16He saidG3004 to her, “GoG5217, callG5455 your husbandG435 and comeG2064 hereG1759.” 17The womanG1135 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “You have correctlyG2573 saidG3004, ‘I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435’; 18for you haveG2192 hadG2192 fiveG4002 husbandsG435, and the one whomG3739 you nowG3568 haveG2192 is not your husbandG435; thisG3778 you have saidG3004 trulyG227.” 19The womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “18SirG2962, I perceiveG2334 that You are 19a prophetG4396. 2020Our fathersG3962 worshipedG4352 in 21thisG3778 mountainG3735, and you people sayG3004 that 22in JerusalemG2414 is the placeG5117 whereG3699 men oughtG1163 to worshipG4352.” 21JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “WomanG1135, believeG4100 Me, 23an hourG5610 is comingG2064 whenG3753 24neitherG3777 in thisG3778 mountainG3735 norG3777 in JerusalemG2414 will you worshipG4352 the FatherG3962. 2225You worshipG4352 whatG3739 you do not knowG3609; we worshipG4352 whatG3739 we knowG3609, for 26salvationG4991 is from the JewsG2453. 23But 27an hourG5610 is comingG2064, and nowG3568 is, whenG3753 the trueG228 worshipersG4353 will worshipG4352 the FatherG3962 28in spiritG4151 and truthG225; for suchG5108 peopleG5108 the FatherG3962 seeksG2212 to be His worshipersG4352. 24GodG2316 is 29spiritG4151, and thoseG3588 who worshipG4352 Him mustG1163 worshipG4352 30in spiritG4151 and truthG225.” 25The womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “I knowG3609 that 31MessiahG3323 is comingG2064 (32He who is calledG3004 ChristG5547); whenG3752 that OneG1565 comesG2064, He will declareG312 allG537 thingsG537 to us.” 26JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “33I who speakG2980 to you amG1510 He.”

27At thisG3778 pointG1909 His 34disciplesG3101 cameG2064, and they were amazedG2296 that He had been speakingG2980 with a womanG1135, yetG3305 noG3762 oneG3762 saidG3004, “WhatG5101 do You seekG2212?” orG2228, “WhyG5101 do You speakG2980 with her?” 28SoG3767 the womanG1135 leftG863 her waterpotG5201, and wentG565 into the cityG4172 and saidG3004 to the menG444, 29“ComeG1205, seeG3708 a manG444 35whoG3739 toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160; 36thisG3778 is not 37the ChristG5547, is it?” 30They wentG1831 out of the cityG4172, and were comingG2064 to Him.

31MeanwhileG3342 the disciplesG3101 were urgingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “38RabbiG4461, eatG2068.” 32But He saidG3004 to them, “I haveG2192 foodG1035 to eatG2068 that you do not knowG3609 aboutG3609.” 33SoG3767 the 39disciplesG3101 were sayingG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “NoG3361 oneG5100 broughtG5342 Him anything to eatG2068, did he?” 34JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “My foodG1033 is to 40doG4160 the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me and to 41accomplishG5048 His workG2041. 35Do you not sayG3004, ‘There are yetG2089 fourG5072 monthsG5072, and then comesG2064 the harvestG2326’? BeholdG2400, I sayG3004 to you, liftG1869 up your eyesG3788 and lookG2300 on the fieldsG5561, that they are whiteG3022 42for harvestG2326. 36AlreadyG2235 he who reapsG2325 is receivingG2983 43wagesG3408 and is gatheringG4863 44fruitG2590 for 45lifeG2222 eternalG166; soG2443 that he who sowsG4687 and he who reapsG2325 may rejoiceG5463 togetherG3674. 37For in thisG3778 case the sayingG3056 is trueG228, ‘46OneG243 sowsG4687 and anotherG243 reapsG2325.’ 38I sentG649 you to reapG2325 that for whichG3739 you have not laboredG2872; othersG243 have laboredG2872 and you have enteredG1525 into their laborG2873.”

39From 47that cityG4172 manyG4183 of the SamaritansG4541 believedG4100 in Him becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of the womanG1135 who testifiedG3140, “48He toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160.” 40SoG3767 whenG5613 the SamaritansG4541 cameG2064 to Jesus, they were askingG2065 Him to stayG3306 with them; and He stayedG3306 thereG1563 twoG1417 daysG2250. 41ManyG4183 moreG4183 believedG4100 becauseG1223 of His wordG3056; 42and they were sayingG3004 to the womanG1135, “It is noG3765 longerG3765 becauseG1223 of what you saidG2981 that we believeG4100, for we have heardG191 for ourselvesG846 and knowG3609 that thisG3778 OneG3778 is indeedG230 49the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.”
