9 Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
11 The woman said to him: Sir, you have no vessel with which you can draw, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where do you get that living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
13 Jesus answered and said to her: Whoever drinks of this water, will thirst again;
Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
16 Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come hither.
He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17 The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You have well said. I have no husband;
The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
18 for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
21 Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
22 You worship you know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews.
You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
26 Jesus said to her: I who speak to you am he.
Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
27 And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
At this, his disciples came. They were surprised that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"
28 Then the woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and said to the men:

46 Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.
Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
