9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How do you, being a Jew, ask from me

12 You are not greater than our father Jacob,
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.
14 But whoever drinks of this water which I will give to him will never be thirsty for eternity, but the water which I will give to him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have said rightly, ‘I do not have a husband,’
18 for you have had five husbands, and
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
