2. (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
3. he left Judaea and departed again into Galilee.
4. And it was necessary that he go through Samaria.
5. Then he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6. Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well; and it was about the sixth hour.
7. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
8. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
9. Then said the Samaritan woman unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10. 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.
11. The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from where then hast thou that living water?
12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself, and his sons and his cattle?
