John 4:7-26

⁷ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
⁹ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Hew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" For jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
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 living water."
¹¹ The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water?
¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"
¹³ Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again,
¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
¹⁵ The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
¹⁶ Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
¹⁷ The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband';
¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you say truly."
¹⁹ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
²¹ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in jerusalem will you worship the Father.
²² You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is coming from the Jews.
²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.
²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
²⁵ The woman said to him, "I know the Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things."
²⁶ Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."

John 4:31:38

³¹ Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
³² But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
³³ So the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought him food?"
³⁴ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
³⁵ Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest.
³⁶ He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.
³⁷ For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.'
³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
