10. Jesus said, “If you only knew the free gift of God and who it is that is asking you for water, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11. The woman said, “Sir, where will you get this living water? The well is very deep, and you have nothing to get water with.
12. Are you greater than Jacob, our father, who gave us this well and drank from it himself along with his sons and flocks?”
13. Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14. but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.”
15. The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so I will never be thirsty again and will not have to come back here to get more water.”
16. Jesus told her, “Go get your husband and come back here.”
17. The woman answered, “I have no husband.”Jesus said to her, “You are right to say you have no husband.
18. Really you have had five husbands, and the man you live with now is not your husband. You told the truth.”
19. The woman said, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet.
20. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”
21. Jesus said, “Believe me, woman. The time is coming when neither in Jerusalem nor on this mountain will you actually worship the Father.
