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

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

    9The 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.

    10In 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.
