John 4:1-26
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

1:

2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

2:

3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

3:

4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

4:

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

5:

6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour.

6:

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

7:

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

8:

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

9:

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

10:

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

11:

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

12:

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

13:

14 But whosoever drinketh 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.

14:

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

15:

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

16:

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

17:

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

18:

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

19:

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

20:

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

21:

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

22:

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

23:

24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

24:

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

25:

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].

26:
