4:3
He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4:4
Now He had to pass through Samaria.
4:5
So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
4:6
Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
4:7
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
4:8
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
4:9
“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
4:10
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
4:11
“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

4:19
“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
