Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 J esus answered and said unto unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

Jesus answered and said to 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 T he woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?

She said to Him, “ Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?

You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?”

14 b ut whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

15 T he woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.

The woman said to Him, “ Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.”

He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”

17 T he woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’;

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”

21 J esus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

22 Y e worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

25 T he woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

26 J esus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

Jesus said to her, “ I who speak to you am He.”

At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”

So the disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?”

34 J esus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
