John 4:9 in Context — John 4

7 Une femme de Samarie vint puiser de l’eau. Jésus lui dit: Donne-moi à boire.

8 Car ses disciples étaient allés à la ville pour acheter des vivres.

9 La femme samaritaine lui dit: Comment toi, qui es Juif, me demandes-tu à boire, à moi qui suis une femme samaritaine? Les Juifs, en effet, n’ont pas de relations avec les Samaritains.

10 Jésus lui répondit: Si tu connaissais le don de Dieu et qui est celui qui te dit: Donne-moi à boire! Tu lui aurais toi-même demandé à boire, et il t’aurait donné de l’eau vive.

11 Seigneur, lui dit la femme, tu n’as rien pour puiser, et le puits est profond; d’où aurais-tu donc cette eau vive?
