John 4:6-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. And Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, because he had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

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

8. (For his disciples had gone away into the town so that they could buy food.)

9. So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How do you, being a Jew, ask from me water to drink, since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

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

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