John 4:7–15

⁷A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” ⁸For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For ^dJews have no dealings with ^eSamaritans.

¹⁰Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the ^fgift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you ^gliving water.”

¹¹The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? ¹²Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

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.”
