John 4:7-15 ▼

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.|

11 She said to Him, |Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?

12 |You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?|

13 Jesus answered and said to her, |Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;

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

15 The woman said to Him, |Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.|
