John:4:5-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water :
Jesus saith unto her ,
Give me to drink .
* (
For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat .)
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
Art thou greater than our father Jacob ,
which gave us the well ,
and drank thereof himself ,
and his children ,
and his cattle ?
*
Jesus answered and said unto her ,
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again :
*
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 .
*
The woman saith unto him ,
Sir ,
give me this water ,
that I thirst not ,
neither come hither to draw .
*
Jesus saith unto her ,
Go ,
call thy husband ,
and come hither .
