A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink

The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.
The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
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.
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.”
The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?
The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.
The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;
The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;
for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.
for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when *he* comes he will tell us all things.
The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.”
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he].
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”
The Disciples Return and Marvel

And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’
I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
