In Context

5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.

6 Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, |Give me a drink.|

8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, |How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?| (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 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.|
