1-3 When Jesus heard that the Pharisees said that he baptized more disciples than John (though Jesus himself didn't baptize, his disciples did), he left Judea, passing through Samaria on his way to Galilee.
5 While Jesus was resting at a well, a Samaritan woman came to get water.
7 Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
9 The woman said to Jesus, “Why is a Jew asking a Samaritan woman for a drink? Jews don't talk to Samaritans.”
10 Jesus said, “If you knew who was asking you for a drink, you'd ask me for living water.”
11 She said, “Sir, the well is deep, and you don't even have a bucket. Where will you get living water?”
13 Jesus said,
Whoever drinks this water will get thirsty again.
14 But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty and will live forever.
15 The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I won't get thirsty or have to come to this well to get water.”
16 Jesus said, “Ask your husband to come here.”
17 The woman said, “I don't have a husband.”
18 Jesus said, “Yes, you're right. You don't have a husband. You've had five husbands, and the man you're with now is not your husband.”
19 The woman said,
Sir, I can tell that you're a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say we should worship in Jerusalem.
21 Jesus said,
22 The time is coming when you won't worship on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
You don't know what you worship. All salvation is from the Jews.
24 God is a spirit.
25 The woman said, “When the Messiah comes, he'll teach us everything.”
26 Jesus said, “I'm the Messiah.”
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
29 The woman went away and said to the men in the city, “Come see the man who told me everything I ever did. Isn't he the Christ?”
30 And everyone went to see Jesus. John 4:1-30
