John 4:7-15 ▼

7 when a woman of Samaria coming to draw water, Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy food.)

9 But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto Him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst again;

14 but he that drinketh of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst: but the water, which I shall give him, will be in him a fountain of water springing up unto eternal life.

15 The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
