John 4:1-11

Jesus Goes to Galilee

Therefore when ^aJesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and ^bbaptizing more disciples than John 2 (although ^aJesus Himself was not baptizing, but His ^bdisciples were), 3 He left ^aJudea and went away ^bagain into Galilee. 4 And He had to pass through ^aSamaria. 5 So He *came to a city of ^aSamaria called Sychar, near ^bthe field that ^cJacob gave to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about ¹the sixth hour.

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

7 A woman of Samaria *came to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His ^adisciples had gone away into ^bthe city to buy food. 9 Therefore the ^aSamaritan woman *said to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (For ^bJews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you ^aliving water.” 11 She *said to Him, “¹Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then do You get that ^aliving water?
