    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.

    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?
