11. The woman said, “Sir, where will you get that living water? The well is very deep, and you have nothing to get water with.
12. Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob? He is the one who gave us this well. He drank from it himself, and his sons and all his animals drank from it too.”
13. Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
14. But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life.”
15. The woman said to Jesus, “Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty again and won’t have to come back here to get more water.”
16. Jesus told her, “Go get your husband and come back.”
17. The woman answered, “But I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right to say you have no husband.
18. That’s because, although you have had five husbands, the man you live with now is not your husband. That much was the truth.”
