John 4:8 in Context — John 4

6 Y estaba allí la fuente de Jacob. Pues Jesús, cansado del camino, así se sentó á la fuente. Era como la hora de sexta.

7 Vino una mujer de Samaria á sacar agua: [y] Jesús le dice: Dame de beber.

8 (Porque sus discípulos habían ido á la ciudad á comprar de comer.)

9 Y la mujer Samaritana le dice: ¿Cómo tú, siendo Judío, me pides á mí de beber, que soy mujer Samaritana? porque los Judíos no se tratan con los Samaritanos.

10 Respondió Jesús y díjole: Si conocieses el don de Dios, y quién es el que te dice: Dame de beber: tú pedirías de él, y él te daría agua viva.
