KJV

NIV

1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John—
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her,Give me to drink.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. )
10 Jesus answered and said unto her,If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her,Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
