8. His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9. The Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)
10. Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11. [The woman] said to him, “Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the well is deep; where then can you get this living water?
12. Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?”
13. Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;
14. but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15. The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16. Jesus said to her, “Go call your husband and come back.”
17. The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus answered her, “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’
18. For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
