John 4:1-10 ▼

1 When Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard He was making and baptizing more disciples than John

2 (though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

3 He left Judea and went again to Galilee.

4 He had to travel through Samaria,

5 so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph.

6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from His journey, sat down at the well. It was about six in the evening.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. “Give Me a drink ,” Jesus said to her,

8 for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.

9 “ How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman ? ” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink ,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”
