John 4:1-12
Jesus Goes to Galilee
4Therefore when aJesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and bbaptizing more disciples than John 2(although aJesus Himself was not baptizing, but His bdisciples were), 3He left aJudea and went away bagain into Galilee. 4And He had to pass through aSamaria. 5So He *came to a city of aSamaria called Sychar, near bthe field that cJacob gave to his son Joseph; 6and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about 1the sixth hour.
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
7A woman of Samaria *came to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8For His adisciples had gone away into bthe city to buy food. 9Therefore the aSamaritan woman *said to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (For bJews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you aliving water.” 11She *said to Him, “1Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then do You get that aliving water? 12“Are You greater than our father Jacob, who agave us this well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?”
