John 4:1-10 ▼

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

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

3 He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.

4 And He had to pass through Samaria.

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

6 and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, |Give Me a drink.|

8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, |How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?| (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 Jesus answered and said to 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.|
