Therefore, he went into a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the estate which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
And Jacob’s well was there. And so Jesus, being tired from the journey, was sitting in a certain way on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
A woman of Samaria arrived to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me to drink.”

The woman said to him: “Lord, you do not have anything with which to draw water, and the well is deep. From where, then, do you have living water?
