    6Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon.

    7A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her,“Give me some water to drink.”

    10Jesus answered her,“If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you,‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

    11“Sir,” the woman said to him,“you have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do you get this living water?
