John 4:4-10

4He had to go through Samaria on the way.

5Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.

7Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”

8He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.

9The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”

10Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.”
