7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone into the city that they might buy food.) 9 Then says the Samaritan woman to him, How thou, being a Jew, askest of me to drink, being a Samaritan woman? for the Jews have no intercourse with the Samaritans. 10 And Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who he is saying to thee, Give me to drink: thou hadst asked him, and he had given thee living water. 11 The woman says to him, Lord, thou hast no vessel for drawing, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou the living water? 12 Thou art not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and he himself drank of it, and his sons, and his young animals. 13 Jesus answered and said to her, All drinking of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whoever should drink of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give him shall be in him a spring of water springing up to eternal life.
