John 4:15–26

¹⁵The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

¹⁶Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well: I have no husband.

¹⁸For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly.

¹⁹The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.

²¹Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

²²You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews.

²³But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

²⁴God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
