4:6在那里有雅各井。耶稣因走路困乏，就坐在井旁。那时约有午正。
4:7有一个撒玛利亚的妇人来打水，耶稣对她说：“请你给我水喝。”
4:8那时门徒进城买食物去了。
4:9撒玛利亚的妇人对他说：“你既是犹太人，怎么向我一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢？”原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人没有来往。
4:10耶稣回答说：“你若知道 神的恩赐和对你说‘给我水喝’的是谁，你必早求他，他也必早给了你活水。”
4:11妇人说：“先生，没有打水的器具，井又深，你从哪里得活水呢？
4:12我们的祖宗雅各将这井留给我们，他自己和儿子并牲畜也都喝这井里的水，难道你比他还大吗？”
4:13耶稣回答说：“凡喝这水的，还要再渴；
4:14人若喝我所赐的水，就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里头成为泉源，直涌到永生。”
6Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. )
10Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11“Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?”
13Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
