deep. You have nothing to get water with.
Where will You get the living water?
12 Are You greater than our early father
Jacob? He gave us the well. He and his
children and his cattle drank from it."
13 Jesus said to her, "Whoever drinks this
water will be thirsty again.
14 Whoever drinks the water that I will give
him will never be thirsty. The water that I will
give him will become in him a well of life that
lasts forever."
15 The woman said, "Sir, give me this water so
I will never be thirsty. Then I will not have to
come all this way for water."
16 Jesus said to her, "Go call your husband and
come back."
17 The woman said, "I have no husband."
Jesus said, "You told the truth when you said,
'I have no husband.'
18 You have had five husbands. The one you
have now is not your husband. You told the
truth."
19 The woman said to Him, "Sir, I think You
are a person Who speaks for God.
20 Our early fathers worshiped on this
mountain. You Jews say Jerusalem is the place
where men should worship."
21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me. The
time is coming when you will not worship the
Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 You people do not know what you worship.
We Jews know what we worship. It is through
the Jews that men are saved from the
punishment of their sins.
23 The time is coming, yes, it is here now,
when the true worshipers will worship the
Father in spirit and in truth. The Father wants
that kind of worshipers.
24 God is Spirit. Those who worship Him
must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
25 The woman said to Him, "I know the Jews
are looking for One Who is coming. He is
called the Christ. When He comes, He will tell
us everything."
26 Jesus said to her, "I am the Christ, the One
talking with you!"
27 Right then the followers came back and
were surprised and wondered about finding
Him talking with a woman. But no one said,
"What do You want?" or, "Why are You
talking with her?"
28 The woman left her water jar and went into
the town. She said to the men,
29 "Come and see a Man Who told me
everything I ever did! Can this be the Christ?"
30 They went out of town and came to Him.
...39 Many people in that town of Samaria
believed in Jesus because of what the woman
said about Him. She said, "He told me
everything I ever did."
40 So the people of Samaria came to Him.
They asked Him to stay with them. Jesus
stayed there two days.
41 Many more people believed because of
what He said.
42 They said to the woman, "Now we believe!
It is no longer because of what you said about
Jesus but we have heard Him ourselves. We
know, for sure, that He is the Christ, the One
Who saves men of this world from the
punishment of their sins."
