So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph, and Jacob's spring was there. So Jesus, tired with his journey, sat down just as he was by the spring. It was about noon. read more.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." For his disciples had gone into the town to buy some food. So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that a Jew like you asks a Samaritan woman like me for a drink?" For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans. Jesus answered, "If you knew what God has to give, and who it is that said to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." She said to him, "You have nothing to draw water with, sir, and the well is deep. Where can you get your living water? Are you a greater man than our forefather Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it himself, with his sons and his flocks?" Jesus answered, "Anyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will become a spring of water within him, bubbling up for eternal life." The woman said to him, "Give me this water, sir, so that I may never be thirsty, nor have to come all this way to draw water." He said to her, "Go and call your husband and come back here." The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband, for you have had five husbands and the man you are now living with is not your husband. What you say is true." The woman said to him, "I see that you are a prophet, sir. Our forefathers worshiped God on this mountain, and yet you Jews say that the place where people must worship God is at Jerusalem." Jesus said to her, "Believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor at Jerusalem. You worship something you know nothing about; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews. But a time is coming??t is already here!??hen the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and sincerity, for the Father wants such worshipers. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in sincerity." The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming??e who is called the Christ. When he comes, he will tell us everything!" Jesus said to her, "I who am talking to you am he!"
