Jesus

but whoever drinks the water I will give him will never be thirsty again! On the contrary, the water I give him will become a spring of water inside him, welling up into eternal life!”

“Sir, give me this water,” the woman said to him, “so that I won’t have to be thirsty and keep coming here to draw water.”

He said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”

She answered, “I don’t have a husband.” Yeshua said to her, “You’re right, you don’t have a husband!

“Sir, I can see that you are a prophet,” the woman replied.

Yeshua said, “Lady, believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Yerushalayim.

God is spirit; and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly.”

The woman replied, “I know that Mashiach is coming” (that is, “the one who has been anointed”). “When he comes, he will tell us everything.”

Yeshua said to her, “I, the person speaking to you, am he.”

Just then, his talmidim arrived. They were amazed that he was talking with a woman; but none of them said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I’ve ever done. Could it be that this is the Messiah?”

They left the town and began coming toward him.

Meanwhile, the talmidim were urging Yeshua, “Rabbi, eat something.”

But he answered, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

At this, the talmidim asked one another, “Could someone have brought him food?”

Yeshua said to them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants and to bring his work to completion.

Don’t you have a saying, ‘Four more months and then the harvest’? Well, what I say to you is: open your eyes and look at the fields! They’re already ripe for harvest!

I sent you to reap what you haven’t worked for. Others have done the hard labor, and you have benefited from their work.”

Many people from that town in Shomron put their trust in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all the things I did.”

So when these people from Shomron came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed two days,

and many more came to trust because of what he said.

They said to the woman, “We no longer trust because of what you said, because we have heard for ourselves. We know indeed that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

After the two days, he went on from there toward the Galil.

Now Yeshua himself said, “A prophet is not respected in his own country.”

But when he arrived in the Galil, the people there welcomed him, because they had seen all he had done at the festival in Yerushalayim; since they had been there too.
