John 4:13–26

¹³Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, ¹⁴but ^hwhoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him ⁱwill become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

^15jThe woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

¹⁶Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ ¹⁸for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

¹⁹The woman said to Him, “Sir, ^kI perceive that You are a prophet. ²⁰Our fathers worshiped on ^lthis mountain, and you Jews say that in ^mJerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”

²¹Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming ⁿwhen you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. ²²You worship ^owhat you do not know; we know what we worship, for ^psalvation is of the Jews. ²³But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will ^qworship the Father in ^rspirit ^sand truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. ^24tGod is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah ^uis coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, ^vHe will tell us all things.”

²⁶Jesus said to her, ^w“I who speak to you am He.”
