11  The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water? 12  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? 13  Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again; 14  but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life. 15  The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw. 16  Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here. 17  The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband; 18  for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly. 19  The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet. 20  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship. 21  Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. 22  Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews. 23  But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers. 24  God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. 25  The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things. 26  Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am he.

27  And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? 28  The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men, 29  Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ? 30  They went out of the city and came to him. 31  But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat. 32  But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know. 33  The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him anything to eat? 34  Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work. 35  Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest. 36  He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. 37  For in this is verified the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps. 38  I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours. 39  But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done. 40  When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days. 41  And more a great deal believed on account of his word;
