6 Jacob’s well was there; so Jesus, ^awearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. ^{▼▼That is, about noon}

7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, ^c“Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ( ^dFor Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you ^eliving water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 ^fAre you greater than our father Jacob? ^gHe gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but ^hwhoever drinks of the water that I will give him ⁱwill never be thirsty again. ^{▼▼Greek forever} The water that I will give him will become ^kin him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, ^lgive me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Go, ^mcall your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that ⁿyou are ^oa prophet. 20 ^pOur fathers worshiped on ^qthis mountain, but you say that ^rin Jerusalem is ^sthe place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, ^t“Woman, believe me, ^uthe hour is coming when ^vneither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 ^wYou worship what you do not know; ^xwe worship what we know, for ^ysalvation is ^zfrom the Jews. 23 But ^aathe hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father ^abin spirit and ^actruth, for the Father ^adis seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that ^aeMessiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, ^afhe will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, ^ag“I who speak to you am he.”
