  appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus
  Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might
  redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for
  Himself His own special people, zealous for good
  works.

John 41-5

• Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees
  had heard that Jesus made and baptized more
  disciples than John (though Jesus Himself did not
  baptize, but His disciples), He left Judea and
  departed again to Galilee. But He needed to go
  through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria
  which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground
  that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

31
John 46-9

• Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore,
  being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the
  well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of
  Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,
  "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone
  away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of
  Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a
  Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For
  Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

32
John 410-12

• Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the
  gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give
  Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He
  would have given you living water." The woman
  said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with,
  and the well is deep. Where then do You get that
  living water? Are You greater than our father
  Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it
  himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"

33
John 413-14

• Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks
  of this water will thirst again, but whoever
  drinks of the water that I shall give him will
  never thirst. But the water that I shall give him
  will become in him a fountain of water springing
  up into everlasting life."

34
Revelation 2217

• "And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And
  let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who
  thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the
  water of life freely."
