John 4:13-20 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

13. Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again.

14. But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give is like a flowing fountain that gives eternal life.”

15. The woman replied, “Sir, please give me a drink of that water! Then I won't get thirsty and have to come to this well again.”

16. Jesus told her, “Go and bring your husband.”

17-18. The woman answered, “I don't have a husband.”“That's right,” Jesus replied, “you're telling the truth. You don't have a husband. You have already been married five times, and the man you are now living with isn't your husband.”

19. The woman said, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet.

20. My ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say Jerusalem is the only place to worship.”
