⁵ So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field ^(A)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. ⁶ Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, ^(B)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.^[a]

⁷ A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, ^(C)“Give me a drink.”

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you ^(A)living water.”

¹³ Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, ¹⁴ but ^(A)whoever drinks of the water that I will give him ^(B)will never be thirsty again.^[a] The water that I will give him will become ^(C)in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” ¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, ^(D)give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

²⁸ So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, ²⁹ “Come, see a man ^(A)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”
