The Woman at the Well

7

There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.

8

For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.

9

Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.

10

Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.

11

The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?

12

Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?

13

Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:

14

But whosoeuer drinketh of the water that I shall giue him, shall neuer be more a thirst: but the water that I shall giue him, shalbe in him a well of water, springing vp into euerlasting life.

15

The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.
