    6Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

    7A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

    8(For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.)

    9The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

    10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

    11The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do you get this living water?

    12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"

    13Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

    14But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

    15The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

    16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back here."
