John 4:9-27

9ThereforeG3767 the 1SamaritanG4542 womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “HowG4459 is it that You, beingG1510 a JewG2453, askG154 me for a drinkG4095 since I amG1510 a SamaritanG4542 womanG1135?” (For 2JewsG2453 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 3livingG2198 waterG5204.” 11She saidG3004 to Him, “4SirG2962, You haveG2192 nothingG3777 to drawG502 with and the wellG5421 is deepG901; whereG4159 thenG3767 do You getG2192 that 5livingG2198 water? 12You are not greaterG3173 than our fatherG3962 JacobG2384, are You, whoG3739 6gaveG1325 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 7shall neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372; but the waterG5204 that I will giveG1325 him will becomeG1096 in him a wellG4077 of waterG5204 springingG242 up to 8eternalG166 lifeG2222.”

15The womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “9SirG2962, 10giveG1325 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, “11SirG2962, I perceiveG2334 that You are 12a prophetG4396. 2013Our fathersG3962 worshipedG4352 in 14thisG3778 mountainG3735, and you people sayG3004 that 15in JerusalemG2414 is the placeG5117 whereG3699 men oughtG1163 to worshipG4352.” 21JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “WomanG1135, believeG4100 Me, 16an hourG5610 is comingG2064 whenG3753 17neitherG3777 in thisG3778 mountainG3735 norG3777 in JerusalemG2414 will you worshipG4352 the FatherG3962. 2218You worshipG4352 whatG3739 you do not knowG3609; we worshipG4352 whatG3739 we knowG3609, for 19salvationG4991 is from the JewsG2453. 23But 20an hourG5610 is comingG2064, and nowG3568 is, whenG3753 the trueG228 worshipersG4353 will worshipG4352 the FatherG3962 21in spiritG4151 and truthG225; for suchG5108 peopleG5108 the FatherG3962 seeksG2212 to be His worshipersG4352. 24GodG2316 is 22spiritG4151, and thoseG3588 who worshipG4352 Him mustG1163 worshipG4352 23in spiritG4151 and truthG225.” 25The womanG1135 saidG3004 to Him, “I knowG3609 that 24MessiahG3323 is comingG2064 (25He who is calledG3004 ChristG5547); whenG3752 that OneG1565 comesG2064, He will declareG312 allG537 thingsG537 to us.” 26JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “26I who speakG2980 to you amG1510 He.”

27At thisG3778 pointG1909 His 27disciplesG3101 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?”
