  • JHN 4:1–26, engwebp

    1Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

    2(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

    3he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

    4He needed to pass through Samaria.

    5So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

    6Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

    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.

    9The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

    10Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift 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 living water.”

    11The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

    12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

    13Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

    14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

    15The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

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

    17The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

    18for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

    19The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

    20Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

    21Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

    22You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

    23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

    24God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

    25The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

    26Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
