It was about the sixth hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>7&nbsp;<\/sup>A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cGive me a drink.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>8&nbsp;<\/sup>(For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)&nbsp;<sup>9&nbsp;<\/sup>The Samaritan woman said to him, \u201cHow is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?\u201d (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)&nbsp;<sup>10&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus answered her,&nbsp;\u201cIf you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, \u2018Give me a drink,\u2019 you would have asked him, and he would have given you&nbsp;living water.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>11&nbsp;<\/sup>The woman said to him, \u201cSir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?&nbsp;<sup>12&nbsp;<\/sup>Are you greater than our father Jacob?&nbsp;He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>13&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cEveryone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,&nbsp;<sup>14&nbsp;<\/sup>but&nbsp;whoever drinks of the water that I will give him&nbsp;will never be thirsty again.&nbsp;The water that I will give him will become&nbsp;in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>15&nbsp;<\/sup>The woman said to him, \u201cSir,&nbsp;give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>16&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cGo,&nbsp;call your husband, and come here.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>17&nbsp;<\/sup>The woman answered him, \u201cI have no husband.\u201d Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cYou are right in saying, \u2018I have no husband\u2019;&nbsp;<sup>18&nbsp;<\/sup>for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>19&nbsp;<\/sup>The woman said to him, \u201cSir, I perceive that&nbsp;you are&nbsp;a prophet.&nbsp;<sup>20&nbsp;<\/sup>Our fathers worshiped on&nbsp;this mountain, but you say that&nbsp;in Jerusalem is&nbsp;the place where people ought to worship.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>21&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cWoman, believe me,&nbsp;the hour is coming when&nbsp;neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.&nbsp;<sup>22&nbsp;<\/sup>You worship what you do not know;&nbsp;we worship what we know, for&nbsp;salvation is&nbsp;from the Jews.&nbsp;<sup>23&nbsp;<\/sup>But&nbsp;the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father&nbsp;in spirit and&nbsp;truth, for the Father&nbsp;is seeking such people to worship him.&nbsp;<sup>24&nbsp;<\/sup>God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>25&nbsp;<\/sup>The woman said to him, \u201cI know that&nbsp;Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes,&nbsp;he will tell us all things.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>26&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cI who speak to you am he.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>27&nbsp;<\/sup>Just then&nbsp;his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, \u201cWhat do you seek?\u201d or, \u201cWhy are you talking with her?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>28&nbsp;<\/sup>So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people,&nbsp;<sup>29&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cCome, see a man&nbsp;who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>30&nbsp;<\/sup>They went out of the town and were coming to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sermon Video:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure
