Jesus Christ » History of » Visits sychar and teaches the samaritan woman
And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar, near the piece of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And Jacob's well was there. Now Jesus was tired with his journey, and sat down at the well: and it was about the sixth hour of the day, read more.
when a woman of Samaria coming to draw water, Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy food.) But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst again; but he that drinketh of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst: but the water, which I shall give him, will be in him a fountain of water springing up unto eternal life. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go call thine husband, and come hither. The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou hast said right, I have no husband: for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews. But the time is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father requireth such worshippers of Him. God is a spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit and truth. Then saith the woman unto Him, I know that the Messiah, that is to say the Christ, is coming; and when He comes, He will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He. And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?) therefore the woman left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ?

Therefore the disciples said one to another, Hath any one brought Him aught to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My food is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish his work. Do not ye say, it is yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, they are already white for harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth the fruit together unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together; for herein the saying is verified, that one soweth, and another reapeth, in as much as I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labors. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him, because of what the woman said, testifying, He told me all that ever I did. Therefore when the Samaritans came to Him, they desired Him to stay with them: and He staid there two days. And many more believed on account of his own discourse: and said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what thou hast spoken; for we ourselves have heard Him, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar, near the piece of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And Jacob's well was there. Now Jesus was tired with his journey, and sat down at the well: and it was about the sixth hour of the day, when a woman of Samaria coming to draw water, Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy food.) But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst again; but he that drinketh of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst: but the water, which I shall give him, will be in him a fountain of water springing up unto eternal life. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go call thine husband, and come hither. The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou hast said right, I have no husband: for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews. But the time is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father requireth such worshippers of Him. God is a spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit and truth. Then saith the woman unto Him, I know that the Messiah, that is to say the Christ, is coming; and when He comes, He will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He. And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?) therefore the woman left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ? They therefore went out of the city, and came to Him. In the mean time his disciples addressed Him, saying, Master, eat. But He said unto them, I have food to eat, which ye know not of. Therefore the disciples said one to another, Hath any one brought Him aught to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My food is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish his work.
