Give me to drink.
How is it that
thou, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, who
I'm a woman of Samaria? The Jews have no dealings
with the Samaritans.
If thou knowest the gift of
God and who it is that sayeth to thee, "Give me to
drink," though wouldst have asked of him and he would
have given thee living water.
Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep. From whence then has
thou that living water?
Art thou greater than our Father
Jacob who gave us the well and drank there of himself, and
his children, and his cattle?
Whosoever shall drinketh of
this well shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the
water which I shall give him shall never thirst. The water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of water, springing
up into everlasting life.
Sir, give me this water, that I
thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Go.
Call thy husband
and come hither.
I have no husband. Thou hast well said,
I have no husband.
For thou hast had five husbands.
And he whom you now
hast is not thy husband, in thou saidst that truly.
Sir, I perceive that
thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped
in this mountain, and he sayeth that
in Jerusalem is the place where men
ought to worship. Woman, believe me,
the hour cometh, when ye shall, neither in this
mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what. We know what we worship and
salvation is of the Jews.
And 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. For unto such hath God
promised his Spirit. And they who worship Him must
worship in spirit and in truth.
I know that Messiah is
coming who is called Christ.
When he has come, he
will tell us all things.
I who speak come
unto thee, I'm he.
