The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith to him, 'Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?
The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?

17 the woman answered and said, 'I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, 'Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;

20 our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'
Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;
