John 4:25-34 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming, the one called the Anointed; when he comes, he will tell us everything.”

26. Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking with you.”

27. At that moment his disciples returned, and were amazed that he was talking with a woman, but still no one said, “What are you looking for?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

28. The woman left her water jar and went into the town and said to the people,

29. “Come see a man who told me everything I have done. Could he possibly be the Messiah?”

30. They went out of the town and came to him.

31. Meanwhile, the disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat.”

32. But he said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

33. So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”

34. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work.
