Then says the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 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.”
Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Jesus says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men 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 says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jesus says to her, I that speak to you am he.
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
