John 4:1-14 – “When
therefore the Lord knew
how the Pharisees had
heard that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples
than John, (Though Jesus
himself baptized not, but
his disciples,) He left
Judaea, and departed
again into Galilee. And he
must needs go through
Samaria. Then cometh he
to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar,
near to the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to
his son Joseph. Now
Jacob's well was there.
Jesus therefore, being
wearied with his journey,
sat thus on the well: and it
was about the sixth hour.
There cometh a woman
of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus saith unto her, Give
me
drink. (For his disciples
were gone away unto the
city to buy meat.) Then
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. 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.”
