JESUS AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN

JOHN 4 4 to 14

Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her: 

Will you give me a drink?

His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

The Samaritan woman said to him:

You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink? For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.  

Jesus answered her:

If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water… Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
