The woman said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well
is deep. From where would you get that living water? Art Thou greater
than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself,
as did his children and his cattle?
Jesus answered, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again. But
whoever drinks of the water that I give will never thirst. The water
that I give will be a well of water springing up in him into
everlasting life. The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water so I
do not thirst and never have to come here to draw it. Jesus said to
her, Go, call your husband and come back. The woman answered, I have no
husband.
Jesus said to her, You say rightly when you say, I have no husband, for
you have had five husbands. He who is with you now is not your husband.
In that you speak truly. The woman said to Him, Sir, I see that you are
a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain and you say that
Jerusalem is the place where men should worship. Jesus said to her,
Woman, believe me, the hour will come when you will not worship the
Father in this mountain or at Jerusalem. You worship what you do not
know. We worship what we know because salvation comes from the Jews.
But the hour comes, and is now, when the true worshippers will worship
the Father in spirit and in truth.
