(For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
004:010 "If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it
is that said to you, `Give me some water,' you would have
asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
004:011 "Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well
is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
004:012 Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well,
and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
004:013 "Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water
will be thirsty again;
004:014 but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him
will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give
him will become a fountain within him of water springing up
for the Life of the Ages."
004:015 "Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never
be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw
from the well."
004:016 "Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
004:017 "I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you
have no husband," said Jesus;
004:018 "for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at
present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth
in saying that."
004:019 "Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
004:020 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say
that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
004:021 "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will
worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
004:022 You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom
we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
