43:003:035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

43:003:036 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

43:004:001 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

43:004:002 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

43:004:003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

43:004:004 And he must needs go through Samaria.

43:004:005 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

43:004:006 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.

43:004:007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

43:004:008 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

43:004:009 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

43:004:010 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.

43:004:011 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

43:004:012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

43:004:013 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

43:004:014 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

43:004:015 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

43:004:016 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

43:004:017 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

43:004:018 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

43:004:019 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

43:004:020 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

43:004:021 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

43:004:022 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

43:004:023 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

43:004:024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

43:004:025 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

43:004:026 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
