John 4:10–14

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

4:1WHEN therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

4:2(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

4:3He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

4:4And he must needs go through Samaria.

4:5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

4:6Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

4:7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

4:8(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

4:9Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

4:10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

Selected passage

4:11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

Selected passage

4:12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Selected passage

4:13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

Selected passage

4:14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Selected passage

4:15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

4:16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

4:17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

4:18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

4:19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

4:20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

4:21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

4:22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

4:23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

4:24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
