drb John:4:1-26
drb@John:4:1 @When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,
drb@John:4:2 @(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)
drb@John:4:3 @He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
drb@John:4:4 @And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
drb@John:4:5 @He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
drb@John:4:6 @Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
drb@John:4:7 @There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
drb@John:4:8 @For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
drb@John:4:9 @Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
drb@John:4:10 @Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water
drb@John:4:11 @The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?
drb@John:4:12 @Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
drb@John:4:13 @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:
drb@John:4:14 @But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.
drb@John:4:15 @The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
drb@John:4:16 @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:
drb@John:4:17 @For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.
drb@John:4:18 @The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
drb@John:4:19 @Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
drb@John:4:20 @Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
drb@John:4:21 @You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.
drb@John:4:22 @But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.
drb@John:4:23 @God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
drb@John:4:24 @The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
drb@John:4:25 @Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
drb@John:4:26 @And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
