John 4:3-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
3He left Judea and went away again to Galilee. 4And He had to pass through Samaria. 5So He *came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired from His journey, was just sitting by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7A woman of Samaria *came to draw water. Jesus *said to her, 'Give Me a drink.'
8For His disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.
9So the Samaritan woman *said to Him, 'How is it that You, though You are a Jew, are asking me for a drink, though I am a Samaritan woman?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
10Jesus replied to her, 'If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.'
11She *said to Him, 'Sir, You have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do You get this living water?
12You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well and drank of it himself, and his sons and his cattle?'
13Jesus answered and said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again;
14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.'
King James Version
Chapter 4
3He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4And he must needs go through Samaria. 5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Chapter 4
3he left Judea and went again to Galilee. 4He had to travel through Samaria; 5so he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph. 6Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from his journey, sat down at the well. It was about noon.
7A woman of Samaria came to draw water. "Give me a drink," Jesus said to her,
8because his disciples had gone into town to buy food.
New Living Translation
4He had to go through Samaria on the way.
5Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.
7Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
8He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.
