John 4:5-15 (New Living Translation)
5
Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6
Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.
7
Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink."
8
He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.
9
The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?"
10
Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water."
11
"But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket," she said, "and this is a very deep well. Where would you get this living water?
12
And besides, are you greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his cattle enjoyed?"
13
Jesus replied, "People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water.
14
But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life."
15
"Please, sir," the woman said, "give me some of that water! Then I'll never be thirsty again, and I won't have to come here to haul water."
