9 But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly 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 unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee 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 saith unto Him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the 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 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, 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?"

Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go call thine husband, and come hither.
He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17 The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou hast said right, I have no husband:

20 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men 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 saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He.
Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
27 And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk 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 therefore the woman left her water-pot, and went away into the city,
