“Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?”
“Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? ”
“Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"”
“Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof, himself and his children and his cattle?”
“Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?”

So the Samaritan woman said to him,“How can you– a Jew– ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?”(For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)
Jesus answered her,“If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you,‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
“Sir,” the woman said to him,“you have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do you get this living water?
Surely you’re not greater than our ancestor Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock.”
Jesus replied,“Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty again.
But whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.”
The woman said to him,“Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
