¹ Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John ² (Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized), ³ He left Judea, and set out again for Galilee. ⁴ He had to pass through Samaria, ⁵ And, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ⁶ Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about mid-day. ⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her- - "Give me some to drink," ⁸ For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food. ⁹ "How is it," replied the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?"

"You are right in saying 'I have no husband,'" replied Jesus, ¹⁸ "For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth." ¹⁹ "I see, Sir, that you are a Prophet!" exclaimed the woman. ²⁰ "It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem." ²¹ "Believe me," replied Jesus, "a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father. ²² You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for Salvation comes from the Jews. ²³ But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires. ²⁴ God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly." ²⁵ "I know," answered the woman, "that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything." ²⁶ "I am he," Jesus said to her, "I who am speaking to you." ²⁷ At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked 'What do you want?' or 'Why are you talking with her?' ²⁸ So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people: ²⁹ "Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?" ³⁰ And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
