A. Christ Witnesses to the Woman at the Well................... 4:1-26
Joh 4:1
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,Joh 4:2
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)Joh 4:3
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.Joh 4:4
And he must needs go through Samaria.Joh 4:5
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.Joh 4:6
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.Joh 4:7
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.Joh 4:8
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)Joh 4:9
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.Joh 4:10
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.Joh 4:11
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?Joh 4:12
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?Joh 4:13
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:Joh 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.Joh 4:15
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.Joh 4:16
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.Joh 4:17
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:Joh 4:18
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.Joh 4:19
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.Joh 4:20
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.Joh 4:21
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.Joh 4:22
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.Joh 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.Joh 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.Joh 4:25
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.Joh 4:26
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
