    4 And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

    5 So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

    6 Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

    7 A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

    8 For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

    9 The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

    10 In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

    11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?

    12 Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?

    13 Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

    14 But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.
