John:4:1 @
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
nasb @
John:4:2 @(
although Jesus Himself was not baptizing ,
but His disciples were ),
nasb @
John:4:3 @
He left Judea and went away again into Galilee .
nasb @
John:4:4 @
And He had to pass through Samaria .
nasb @
John:4:5 @
So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar ,
near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph ;
nasb @
John:4:6 @
and Jacob '
s well was there .
So Jesus ,
being wearied from His journey ,
was sitting thus by the well .
It was about the sixth hour .
nasb @
John:4:7 @
There came a woman of Samaria to draw water .
Jesus said to her , "
Give Me a drink ."
nasb @
John:4:8 @
For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food .
nasb @
John:4:9 @
Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him , "
How is it that You ,
being a Jew ,
ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman ?" (
For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans .)
nasb @
John:4:10 @
Jesus answered and said to her , "
If you knew the gift of God ,
and who it is who says to you , '
Give Me a drink ,'
you would have asked Him ,
and He would have given you living water ."
nasb @
John:4:11 @
She said to Him , "
Sir ,
You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep ;
where then do You get that living water ?
nasb @
John:4:12 " @
You are not greater than our father Jacob ,
are You ,
who gave us the well ,
and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle ?"
nasb @
John:4:13 @
Jesus answered and said to her , "
Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again ;
nasb @
John:4:14 @
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst ;
but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life ."
nasb @
John:4:15 @
The woman said to Him , "
Sir ,
give me this water ,
so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw ."
nasb @
John:4:16 @
He said to her , "
Go ,
call your husband and come here ."
nasb @
John:4:17 @
The woman answered and said , "
I have no husband ."
Jesus said to her , "
You have correctly said , '
I have no husband ';
nasb @
John:4:18 @
for you have had five husbands ,
and the one whom you now have is not your husband ;
this you have said truly ."
nasb @
John:4:19 @
The woman said to Him , "
Sir ,
I perceive that You are a prophet .
nasb @
John:4:20 " @
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain ,
and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship ."
nasb @
John:4:21 @
Jesus said to her , "
Woman ,
believe Me ,
an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father .
nasb @
John:4:22 " @
You worship what you do not know ;
we worship what we know ,
for salvation is from the Jews .
nasb @
John:4:23 " @
But an hour is coming ,
and now is ,
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth ;
for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers .
nasb @
John:4:24 " @
God is spirit ,
and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth ."
nasb @
John:4:25 @
The woman said to Him , "
I know that Messiah is coming (
He who is called Christ );
when that One comes ,
He will declare all things to us ."
nasb @
John:4:26 @
Jesus said to her , "
I who speak to you am He ."
