4. Now he needed to cross through Samaria.
5. Therefore, he went into a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the estate which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6. And Jacob's well was there. And so Jesus, being tired from the journey, was sitting in a certain way on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7. A woman of Samaria arrived to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me to drink."
8. For his disciples had gone into the city in order to buy food.
9. And so, that Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, are requesting a drink from me, though I am a Samaritan woman?" For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.
10. Jesus responded and said to her: "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, 'Give me to drink,' perhaps you would have made a request of him, and he would have given you living water."
11. The woman said to him: "Lord, you do not have anything with which to draw water, and the well is deep. From where, then, do you have living water?
12. Surely, you are not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and who drank from it, with his sons and his cattle?"
13. Jesus responded and said to her: "All who drink from this water will thirst again. But whoever shall drink from the water that I will give to him will not thirst for eternity.
14. Instead, the water that I will give to him will become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life."
15. The woman said to him, "Lord, give me this water, so that I may not thirst and may not come here to draw water."
16. Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and return here."
17. The woman responded and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her: "You have spoken well, in saying, 'I have no husband.'
18. For you have had five husbands, but he whom you have now is not your husband. You have spoken this in truth."
19. The woman said to him: "Lord, I see that you are a Prophet.
20. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."
21. Jesus said to her: "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you shall worship the Father, neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know. For salvation is from the Jews.
