John 4:7

7 A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?"

John 4:7 In-Context

5 He came into Sychar, a Samaritan village that bordered the field Jacob had given his son Joseph.
6 Jacob's well was still there. Jesus, worn out by the trip, sat down at the well. It was noon.
7 A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?"
8 (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)
9 The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, "How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" (Jews in those days wouldn't be caught dead talking to Samaritans.)
