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.)

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.

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he.]
Jesus said to her: I who speak to you am he.

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?
