John 4:4-10

4But he had to pass through Samaria.

5Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon.

7A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”

8(For his disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies.)

9So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you – a Jew – ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?” (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)

10Jesus answered her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
