Versliste
Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come {Or, as otherwise read, for a witness for ever}for ever and ever.
And he must needs pass through Samaria.
So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
and Jacob's {Greek: spring: and so in verse 14, but not in verse 11, 12}well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat {Or, as he was Compare chapter 13:25}thus by the {Greek: spring: and so in verse 14, but not in verse 11, 12}well. It was about the sixth hour.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? {Some ancient authorities omit For Jews have no dealings with Samaritians.}(For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Jesus answered and said 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.
The woman saith unto him, {Or, Lord}Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
