"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;

"Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"

"Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, "you have no share with me."

This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.

They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him."
"Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him."

"If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."
