John 4: The Woman at the Well
The Samaritan woman said to him,
“You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?
(For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
John 4:9 (New International Version)
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God
and who it is that asks you for a drink,
you would have asked him and he would have
given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said,
“you have nothing to draw with and the well
is deep. Where can you get this living water?
Are you greater than our father Jacob,
who gave us this well and drank from it himself,
as did also his sons and his livestock?”
John 4:10-12 (NIV)
With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.
Isaiah 12:3 (NIV)
As the deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
Psalm 42:1-2a
