t that thou,
being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?" (for Jews
have no dealings with Samaritans).

Jesus answered and said unto her, "If thou knewest the gift of God,
and who it is that saith to thee, 'Give me to drink' thou wouldest
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."

The woman saith unto him, "Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and
the well is deep; whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou

PREACHING TO THE SAMARITANS.

And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was
speaking with a woman; yet no man said, "What seekest thou?" or, "Why
speakest thou with her?"

So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith
