7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me drink.”
8 For His disciples had gone into the city to buy food.
9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me for drink, who is a woman of Samaria? For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.”
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and Who it is Who says to you, ‘Give me drink’, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you water of life.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the Well is deep. From where then have You the water of life?
12 Are You greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the Well; and he himself drank thereof, and his sons, and his cattle?”
13 Jesus answered, and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water, shall thirst again.
14 “But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.”
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me of that water, that I may never thirst, nor come here to draw again.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”
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 he whom you now have is not your husband. That you said truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a Prophet.
20 “Our fathers worshiped on this mountain. And You say that Jerusalem is the place wherein it is necessary to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me. The hour comes when you shall neither on this mountain, nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 “You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know. For salvation is from the Jews.
23 “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. For the Father requires even such to worship Him.
24 “God is a Spirit. And those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know well that Messiah shall come, Who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am He, Who speaks to you.”
