John 4:7-15

7There comethG2064 a womanG1135 ofG1537 SamariaG3588G4540 to drawG501 waterG5204: JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, GiveG1325 meG1473 to drinkG4095.

8(ForG1063 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were gone awayG565 untoG1519 the cityG3588G4172 toG2443 buyG59 meatG5160.)

9ThenG3767 saithG3004 the womanG3588G1135 of SamariaG3588G4542 unto himG846, How is it thatG4459 thouG4771, beingG1510 a JewG2453, askestG154 drinkG4095 ofG3844 meG1473, which amG1510 a womanG1135 of SamariaG4542? forG1063 the JewsG2453 haveG4798 noG3756 dealingsG4798 with the SamaritansG4541.

10JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, IfG1487 thou knewestG1492 the giftG3588G1431 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 whoG5101 it isG1510 that saithG3004 to theeG4771, GiveG1325 meG1473 to drinkG4095; thouG4771 wouldest have askedG154 of himG846, andG2532 he would have givenG1325 theeG4771 livingG2198 waterG5204.

11The womanG3588G1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, thou hastG2192 nothingG3777 to draw withG502, andG2532 the wellG3588G5421 isG1510 deepG901: from whenceG4159 thenG3767 hast thouG2192 thatG3588G5204 livingG2198 waterG3588G5204?

12ArtG1510 thouG4771 greater thanG3173 ourG1473 fatherG3588G3962 JacobG2384, whichG3739 gaveG1325 usG1473 the wellG3588G5421, andG2532 drankG4095 thereofG846 himselfG846, andG2532 hisG846 childrenG3588G5207, andG2532 hisG846 cattleG3588G2353?

13JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, WhosoeverG3956 drinkethG4095 ofG1537 thisG3778 waterG3588G5204 shall thirstG1372 againG3825:

14ButG1161 whosoeverG3739G302 drinkethG4095 ofG1537 the waterG3588G5204 thatG3739 IG1473 shall giveG1325 himG846 shallG1372 neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372; butG235 the waterG3588G5204 thatG3739 I shall giveG1325 himG846 shall beG1096 inG1722 himG846 a wellG4077 of waterG5204 springing upG242 intoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.

15The womanG3588G1135 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, SirG2962, giveG1325 meG1473 thisG3778 waterG3588G5204, thatG2443 I thirstG1372 notG3361, neitherG3366 comeG2064 hitherG1759 to drawG501.
