约翰福音四章1至14节

1主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒，施洗，比约翰还多，

2（其实不是耶稣亲自施洗，乃是他的门徒施洗，）

3他就离了犹太，又往加利利去。

4必须经过撒玛利亚，

5于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城，名叫叙加，靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。

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。

7有一个撒玛利亚的妇人来打水。耶稣对他说：「请你给我水喝。」

8（那时门徒进城买食物去了。〉

9撒玛利亚的妇人对他说：「你既是犹太人，怎么向我一个撒马利亚妇人要水喝呢？」原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人没有来往。

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。」

11妇人说：「先生，没有打水的器具，井又深，你从那里得活水呢？

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？」

13耶稣回答说：凡喝这水的还要再渴；

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。」

John 4:1-14

1 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John

2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),

3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.

4 But He needed to go through Samaria.

5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria came 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 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says 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 then do You get that living water?

12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,

14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
