12. READ: JOHN 4:1-14
[John 4:1] "The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, [2] although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples. [3] When the Lord learned of this, He left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
[4] "Now He had to go through Samaria. [5] So He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. [6] Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as He was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
[7] "When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give Me a drink?' [8] (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
[9] "The Samaritan woman said to Him, ‘You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can You ask me for a drink?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
[10] "Jesus answered her, ‘If you knew the gift of God and Who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.'
[11] "‘Sir,' the woman said, ‘You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can You get this living water? [12] Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?'
[13] "Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, [14] but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'"
a. What is the living water that Jesus gives?
b. Whoever receives this gift will never do what?
