y. [3:33]He that receives his testimony has sealed that God is
true. [3:34]For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God
gives not the Spirit by measure. [3:35]The Father loves the Son, and
has given all things into his hand. [3:36]He that believes on the Son
has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God continues on him.
2 [4:1]When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that
Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, [4:2]though Jesus
himself indeed baptized not, but his disciples, [4:3]he left Judea and
departed again to Galilee. [4:4]And it was necessary that he should
pass through Samaria. [4:5] He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria
called Sychar, near the lot which Jacob gave his son Joseph. [4:6]And
Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, being fatigued with
travelling sat thus by the well; it was about the sixth hour [noon].
[4:7]A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, Give me
a drink; [4:8]for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy
provisions. [4:9]Then the Samaritan woman said to him, How do you,
being a Jew, ask a drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews do no
business with the Samaritans. [4:10]Jesus answered and said to her, If
you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me a
drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living
water. [4:11]The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with,
and the well is deep; whence then have you the living water? [4:12]Are
you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and who drank
of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? [4:13]Jesus answered and
said to her, Every one that drinks of this water will thirst again;
[4:14]but whoever drinks of the water which I will give him shall never
thirst; but the water which I will give him shall be in him a fountain
of water springing up to eternal life. [4:15]The woman said to him,
Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, nor come here to draw.
[4:16]He said to her, Go and call your husband, and come here.
[4:17]The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to
her, You have said well, I have no husband; [4:18]for you have had five
husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you
have spoken truly.
3 [4:19]The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
