004:008 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
004:009 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you,
being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?"
(For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
004:010 Jesus answered 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."
004:011 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with,
and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?
004:012 Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well,
and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
004:013 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water
will thirst again,
004:014 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never
thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become
in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
004:015 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I
don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
004:016 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
004:017 The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her,
"You said well, 'I have no husband,'
004:018 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is
not your husband. This you have said truly."
004:019 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
004:020 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that
in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
004:021 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes,
when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you
worship the Father.
004:022 You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know;
for salvation is from the Jews.
004:023 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers
will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father
seeks such to be his worshippers.
004:024 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in
spirit and truth."
004:025 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes,"
(he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare
to us all things."
004:026 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
004:027 At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking
with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?"
or, "Why do you speak with her?"
004:028 So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city,
and said to the people,
004:029 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did.
Can this be the Christ?"
004:030 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
004:031 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
