G3588–ὁ–ho

His road lay through Samaria,

τῆς tēs “<the>”

and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

τῆς tēs “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “the”

Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.

τοῦ tou “<the>”Ὁ Ho “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”τῇ tēa “the”

Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

τῆς tēs “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.

οἱ hoi “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “<the>”

"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, `Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “who”

"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?

ἡ hē “the”τὸ to “the”τὸ to “the”τὸ to “which”

Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"

τοῦ tou “[than] the”τὸ to “the”οἱ hoi “the”τὰ ta “the”

"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “who”τοῦ tou “<the>”

but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages."

τοῦ tou “the”τὸν ton “the”τὸ to “the”

"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."

ἡ hē “the”τὸ to “<the>”

"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."

ὁ ho “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;

ἡ hē “the”ὁ ho “<the>”

"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.

ἡ hē “the”

Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."

οἱ hoi “The”τῷ tō “<the>”ὁ ho “the”

"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “the”

You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.

ἡ hē “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”

But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

οἱ hoi “the”τῷ tō “the”ὁ ho “the”τοὺς tous “who”

God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."

ὁ ho “<the>”τοὺς tous “those”

"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--`the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."

ἡ hē “the”ὁ ho “who”

"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “who”

Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

οἱ hoi “the”

The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.

τὴν tēn “the”ἡ hē “the”τὴν tēn “the”τοῖς tois “to the”

"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"

ὁ ho “the”
