down thus
on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

(7)There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus, says to her:
Give me to drink. (8)For his disciples had gone away into the city to
buy food. (9)The Samaritan woman therefore says to him: How is it that
thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, being a Samaritan woman? For
Jews do not associate with Samaritans. (10)Jesus answered and said to
her: If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee,
Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have
given thee living water. (11)The woman says to him: Sir, thou hast
nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou

cattle? (13)Jesus answered and said to her: Every one that drinks of

which ye know not; we worship that which we know; because salvation is
of the Jews. (23)But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true
worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for such
the Father seeks to worship him. (24)God is spirit; and they that

(25)The woman says to him: I know that Messiah comes (who is called
Christ); when he is come, he will tell us all things. (26)Jesus says
to her: I that speak to thee am he. (27)And upon this came his
disciples; and they marveled that he talked with the woman[4:27]. Yet
