Jesus answered and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst for ever.
14
But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.
15
The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16
Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17
The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well: I have no husband.
18
For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly.
19
The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20
Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
21
Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
22
You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews.
