Living Water Scriptures
John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how
the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples
than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized
not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judea, and departed again
into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through
Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of
Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that
Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus
therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and
it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to
draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then 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.
10 Jesus 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.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir,
thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence
then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father
Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his
children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her,
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the
water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I
shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into
everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir,
give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call
thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I
have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no
husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands;
and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou
truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I
perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this
mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought
to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we
know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in
truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know
that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he
will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that
speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples,
and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot,
and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me
all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city,
and came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples
prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one
to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is
to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up
your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to
harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that
soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true,
One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into
their labors.
39 And many of the Samaritans of
that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which
testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come
unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he
abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of
his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we
believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves,
and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed
thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that
a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into
Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things
that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the
feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of
Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain
nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come
out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that
he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of
death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except
ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir,
come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way;
thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken
unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his
servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then inquired he of them the hour
when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the
seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at
the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and
himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle
that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
