Jn 4:1: When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Jn 4:2: (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
Jn 4:3: He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Jn 4:4: And he must needs go through Samaria.
Jn 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.
Jn 4:6: 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.
Jn 4:7: There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Jn 4:8: (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
Jn 4:9: 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.
Jn 4:10: 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.
Jn 4:11: 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?
Jn 4:12: Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Jn 4:13: Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jn 4:14: 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.
Jn 4:15: The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Jn 4:16: Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Jn 4:17: The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Jn 4:18: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
Jn 4:19: The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Jn 4:20: Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jn 4:21: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Jn 4:22: Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Jn 4:23: 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.
