When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
And he must needs go through Samaria.
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.
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.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, \+w Give|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w me|strong="G3427"\+w* \+w to drink|strong="G4095"\+w*.*
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
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.
Jesus answered and said unto her, \+w If|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w thou knewest|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w the gift|strong="G1431"\+w* \+w of God|strong="G2316"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w who|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w it is|strong="G2076"\+w* \+w that saith|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w to thee|strong="G4671"\+w*, \+w Give|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w me|strong="G3427"\+w* \+w to drink|strong="G4095"\+w*; \+w thou|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w wouldest have asked|strong="G0154"\+w* \+w of him|strong="G0846"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w he would have given|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w thee|strong="G4671"\+w* \+w living|strong="G2198"\+w* \+w water|strong="G5204"\+w*.*
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?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Jesus answered and said unto her, \+w Whosoever|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w drinketh|strong="G4095"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w this|strong="G5127"\+w* \+w water|strong="G5204"\+w* \+w shall thirst|strong="G1372"\+w* \+w again|strong="G3825"\+w*:*
\+w But|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w whosoever|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w drinketh|strong="G4095"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w the water|strong="G5204"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w shall give|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w him|strong="G0846"\+w* shall \+w never|strong="G0165"\+w* \+w thirst|strong="G1372"\+w*; \+w but|strong="G0235"\+w* \+w the water|strong="G5204"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w I shall give|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w him|strong="G0846"\+w* \+w shall be|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w him|strong="G0846"\+w* \+w a well|strong="G4077"\+w* \+w of water|strong="G5204"\+w* \+w springing up|strong="G0242"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w everlasting|strong="G0166"\+w* \+w life|strong="G2222"\+w*.*
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Jesus saith unto her, \+w Go|strong="G5217"\+w*, \+w call|strong="G5455"\+w* \+w thy|strong="G4675"\+w* \+w husband|strong="G0435"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w hither|strong="G1759"\+w*.*
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, \+w Thou hast|strong="G2036"\+w* \+w well|strong="G2573"\+w* \+w said|strong="G2036"\+w*, \+w I have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w no|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w husband|strong="G0435"\+w*:*
\+w For|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w thou hast had|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w five|strong="G4002"\+w* \+w husbands|strong="G0435"\+w*; \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w he whom|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w thou|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w now|strong="G3568"\+w* \+w hast|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w is|strong="G2076"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w thy|strong="G4675"\+w* \+w husband|strong="G0435"\+w*: \+w in that|strong="G5124"\+w* \+w saidst thou|strong="G2046"\+w* \+w truly|strong="G0227"\+w*.*
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jesus saith unto her, \+w Woman|strong="G1135"\+w*, \+w believe|strong="G4100"\+w* \+w me|strong="G3427"\+w*, \+w the hour|strong="G5610"\+w* \+w cometh|strong="G2064"\+w*, \+w when|strong="G3753"\+w* \+w ye shall|strong="G4352"\+w* \+w neither|strong="G3777"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w this|strong="G5129"\+w* \+w mountain|strong="G3735"\+w*, \+w nor yet|strong="G3777"\+w* \+w at|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w Jerusalem|strong="G2414"\+w*, \+w worship|strong="G4352"\+w* \+w the Father|strong="G3962"\+w*.*

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Jesus saith unto her, \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w that speak|strong="G2980"\+w* \+w unto thee|strong="G4671"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w* \+add he.\+add**
¶ 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?
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
