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.

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
