John 4:5-12
English Standard Version
5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field (A)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, (B)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a]
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (C)“Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ((D)For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you (E)living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 (F)Are you greater than our father Jacob? (G)He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”

John 4:5-12
New International Version
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(A) 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(B) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(C) to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(D) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(E)
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(F) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
