John 4:1-13

1Now Yeshua knew that the Pharisees heard that He was making and immersing more disciples than John.

2(Although Yeshua Himself was not immersing, His disciples were.)

3So He left Judea and went back again to the Galilee.

4But He needed to pass through Samaria.

5So He comes to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6Now Jacob’s well was there. So Yeshua, exhausted from the journey, was sitting by the well. It was midday.

7A Samaritan woman comes to draw water. “Give me a drink,” Yeshua tells her,

8for His disciples had gone away to the town to buy food.

9Then the Samaritan woman tells Him, “How is it that You, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (For Jewish people don’t deal with Samaritans.)

10Yeshua replied to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

11“Sir,” the woman tells Him, “You don’t have a bucket, and the well is deep. Then from where do You get this living water?

12You’re not greater than our father Jacob, are You? He gave us this well. He drank out of it himself, with his sons and his cattle.”

13Yeshua replied to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again.
