6. Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his long trip, so he sat down beside the well. It was about noon.
7. A Samaritan woman came to the well to get some water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”
8. This happened while his followers were in town buying some food.
9. The woman answered, “I am surprised that you ask me for a drink! You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman!” (Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)
10. Jesus answered, “You don’t know what God can give you. And you don’t know who I am, the one who asked you for a drink. If you knew, you would have asked me, and I would have given you living water.”
11. The woman said, “Sir, where will you get that living water? The well is very deep, and you have nothing to get water with.
