John 4:9 In-Context

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. "Give Me a drink," Jesus said to her,
8 for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.
9 "How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered, "If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would ask Him, and He would give you living water."
11 "Sir," said the woman, "You don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do you get this 'living water'?
