John 4:1-30
New King James Version
A Samaritan Woman Meets Her Messiah
4 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and (A)baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that (B)Jacob (C)gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came 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 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For (D)Jews have no dealings with (E)Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the (F)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 (G)living water.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but (H)whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him (I)will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15 (J)The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, (K)I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on (L)this mountain, and you Jews say that in (M)Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming (N)when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship (O)what you do not know; we know what we worship, for (P)salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will (Q)worship the Father in (R)spirit (S)and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 (T)God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah (U)is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, (V)He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, (W)“I who speak to you am He.”
The Whitened Harvest
27 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man (X)who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

4 Now oun when hōs Jesus Iēsous learned ginōskō · ho that hoti the ho Pharisees Pharisaios had heard akouō that hoti Jesus Iēsous was making poieō and kai baptizing baptizō more polys disciples mathētēs than ē John Iōannēs 2 — although kaitoige Jesus Iēsous himself autos was not ou baptizing baptizō, but alla · ho his autos disciples mathētēs were— 3 he left aphiēmi · ho Judea Ioudaia and kai departed aperchomai again palin for eis · ho Galilee Galilaia. 4 Now de it was necessary dei that he autos pass dierchomai through dia · ho Samaria Samareia. 5 So oun he came erchomai to eis a town polis in ho Samaria Samareia called legō Sychar Sychar, near plēsion the ho plot chōrion of ground that hos Jacob Iakōb had given didōmi to ho his autos son hyios Joseph Iōsēph. · ho 6 Jacob’ s Iakōb well pēgē was eimi · de there ekei. · ho · ho So oun Jesus Iēsous, weary kopiaō from ek his ho journey hodoiporia, sat kathezomai down by epi the ho well pēgē. It was eimi about hōs the sixth hektos hour hōra.
7 There came erchomai a woman gynē of ek · ho Samaria Samareia to draw antleō water hydōr. Jesus Iēsous said legō to her autos, · ho “ Give didōmi me egō a drink pinō.” 8 · ho ( For gar his autos disciples mathētēs had gone aperchomai off to eis the ho town polis to hina buy agorazō food trophē.) 9 The ho Samaritan Samaritis woman gynē said legō to him autos, · ho “ How pōs is it that you sy, being eimi a Jew Ioudaios, are asking for aiteō a drink pinō from para me egō, a woman gynē who is eimi from Samaria Samaritis?” ( For gar Jews Ioudaios use nothing ou in common synchraomai with Samaritans Samaritēs.) 10 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · kai her autos, saying legō, “ If ei you had known oida the ho gift dōrea of ho God theos and kai who tis it was eimi that ho said legō to you sy, ‘ Give didōmi me egō a drink pinō,’ you sy would an have asked aiteō him autos, and kai he would an have given didōmi you sy living zaō water hydōr.” 11 The ho woman gynē said legō to him autos, “ Sir kyrios, you have echō no oute bucket antlēma and kai the ho well phrear is eimi deep bathus. How pothen then oun are you going echō to draw the ho living zaō water hydōr? · ho 12 Surely you sy are eimi not mē greater megas than ho our hēmeis father patēr Jacob Iakōb, are you , who hos gave didōmi us hēmeis the ho well phrear and kai drank pinō from ek it autos himself autos, as kai did · ho his autos sons hyios and kai · ho his autos flocks thremma?” 13 Jesus Iēsous replied apokrinomai, and kai said legō to her autos, “ Everyone pas who ho drinks pinō of ek · ho this houtos water hydōr will be thirsty dipsaō again palin, 14 but de whoever hos drinks pinō of ek the ho water hydōr that hos I egō will give didōmi him autos will never ou mē be thirsty dipsaō for eis all ho time aiōn, but alla the ho water hydōr that hos I will give didōmi him autos will become ginomai in en him autos a fountain pēgē of water hydōr gushing hallomai up to eis eternal aiōnios life zōē.” 15 The ho woman gynē said legō to pros him autos, “ Sir kyrios, give didōmi me egō this houtos · ho water hydōr, so hina that I will not mē be thirsty dipsaō or mēde have to keep coming dierchomai here enthade to draw antleō water.”
16 Jesus said legō to her autos, “ Go hypagō, call phōneō · ho your sy husband anēr, and kai come erchomai back here enthade.” 17 The ho woman gynē replied apokrinomai and kai said legō to him autos, “ I do not ou have echō a husband anēr.” Jesus Iēsous said legō to her autos, · ho “ You are right kalōs in saying legō, ‘ I do echō not ou have echō a husband anēr,’ 18 for gar you have had echō five pente husbands anēr, and kai the man hos you now nyn have echō is eimi not ou your sy husband anēr. You have spoken legō the houtos truth alēthēs.” 19 The ho woman gynē said legō to him autos, “ Sir kyrios, I can see theōreō that hoti you sy are eimi a prophet prophētēs. 20 · ho Our hēmeis fathers patēr worshiped proskyneō on en · ho this houtos mountain oros, but kai you hymeis Jews say legō that hoti the ho place topos where hopou people should dei worship proskyneō is eimi in en Jerusalem Hierosolyma.” 21 Jesus Iēsous said legō to her autos, · ho “ Believe pisteuō me egō, woman gynē, the hour hōra is coming erchomai when hote you will worship proskyneō the ho Father patēr neither oute on en · ho this houtos mountain oros nor oute in en Jerusalem Hierosolyma. 22 You hymeis Samaritans worship proskyneō what hos you do not ou know oida; we hēmeis worship proskyneō what hos we know oida, because hoti · ho salvation sōtēria is eimi from ek the ho Jews Ioudaios. 23 But alla the hour hōra is coming erchomai, and kai is eimi here nyn already , when hote · ho true alēthinos worshipers proskynētēs will worship proskyneō the ho Father patēr in en spirit pneuma and kai in truth alētheia; for gar indeed kai the ho Father patēr is seeking zēteō just toioutos such people · ho to be his autos worshipers proskyneō. 24 God theos is spirit pneuma, · ho and kai those ho who worship proskyneō him autos must dei worship proskyneō in en spirit pneuma and kai in truth alētheia.” 25 The ho woman gynē said legō to him autos, “ I know oida that hoti Messiah Messias is coming erchomai ( the ho one called legō Christ Christos).
