John 4:1-30 As, then, the Lord knew that the Pharisees hear that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John"

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ As, then, the Lord knew that the Pharisees hear that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John" ² (though, to be sure, Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), ³ He leaves Judea and came away again into Galilee. ⁴ Now He must pass through Samaria. ⁵ He is coming, then, to a city of Samaria, termed Sychar, nigh the freehold which Jacob gives his son Joseph." ⁶ Now there was a spring of Jacob's there. Jesus, then, weary with the journey, was seated thus at the spring. It was about the sixth hour." ⁷ A certain woman of Samaria is coming to draw water. Jesus is saying to her, "Give Me a drink, ⁸ for His disciples had come away into the city that they should be buying nourishment. ⁹ The Samaritan woman, then, is saying to Him, "How are you, being a Jew, requesting a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?(For Jews are not beholden to Samaritans.)" ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, "If you were aware of the gratuity of God, and Who it is Who is saying to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would request Him, and He would give you living water." ¹¹ The woman is saying to Him, "Lord, you have not even a bucket, and the well is deep. Whence, then, have you living water? ¹² Not greater are you than our father Jacob, who gives us the well, and he himself drank out of it, and his sons, and what was nourished by him? ¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who is drinking of this water will be thirsting again, ¹⁴ yet whoever may be drinking of the water which I shall be giving him, shall under no circumstances be thirsting for the eon, but the water which I shall be giving him will become in him a spring of water, welling up into life eonian." ¹⁵ The woman is saying to Him, "Lord, give me this water, that I may not be thirsting, nor yet coming to this place to draw." ¹⁶ Jesus is saying to her, "Go, summon your husband and come to this place." ¹⁷ The woman answered and said to Him, "No husband have I." ¹⁸ Jesus is saying to her, "Ideally said you that 'A husband I have not,' for five husbands have you had, and now he whom you have is not your husband. This you have declared truly." ¹⁹ The woman is saying to Him, "Lord, I behold that thou art a prophet." ²⁰ Our fathers worship in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship." ²¹ Jesus is saying to her, "Believe Me, woman, that, coming is an hour when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem shall you be worshiping the Father." ²² You are worshiping that of which you are not aware; we are worshiping that of which we are aware, for salvation is of the Jews." ²³ But coming is the hour, and now is, when the true worshipers will be worshiping the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also is seeking such to be worshiping Him." ²⁴ God is spirit, and those who are worshiping Him must be worshiping in spirit and truth." ²⁵ The woman is saying to Him, "We are aware that Messiah is coming, Who is termed 'Christ,' Whenever He should be coming, He will be informing us of all things." ²⁶ Jesus is saying to her, "I am He, Who am speaking to you." ²⁷ And, at this, His disciples came, and they marveled that He spoke with a woman. Howbeit, no one said to Him, "What art Thou seeking?or "What art Thou speaking with her? ²⁸ The woman, then, leaves her water pot, and came away into the city, and is saying to the men, ²⁹ Hither! Perceive a Man Who told me all whatever I do. Is not this the Christ? ³⁰ They, then, came out of the city and came to Him."
