John 4:1-14 (KJV)
[1] When therefore the Lord knew how the
Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John,
[2] (Though Jesus himself baptized not,
but his disciples,)
[3] He left Judaea, and departed again
into Galilee.
[4] And he must needs go through Samaria.
[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.
[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.
[7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
[8] (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.)
[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.
[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.
[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?
[12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob,
which gave us the well, and drank thereof
himself, and his children, and his cattle?
[13] Jesus answered and said unto her,
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
[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.
