John 4:12-21
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
12Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock." 13Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." 15The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water."
16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;
18for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."
19The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
21Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
