would you give me a drink? Did you hear me? That's bad, huh? What would you ask for to drink from me, a Samaritan and a woman? I'm sorry, I should have said please. You know it's not safe for you to be alone out here, nor are you. Why haven't you come with others? Why so late in the day? Don't women come to the wells in the cool of the morning? Yeah, well, none of them will be seen with me, so I have to come here tonight in the heat, so you have so kindly reminded me. Why won't they be seen with you? Long story. I'd still like a drink of water if you can spare it. Amazing what a parched throat will do. Aren't I unclean to you? Won't you be defiled by this vessel? Maybe some of my people say that about your women, but I don't. Yeah, and what do you say? I say if you knew who I am, you'd be asking me for a drink. Really? And I would give you living water.

wood except that you have nothing to draw water with, and this is a deep well. Besides, what do you need from me if you have your own supply of living water? Long story, but Jewish. What? It is better than Samaritan Watson. That's not what I said. Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well? Your water is better than his. I know Jacob, and everyone who drinks this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. Wouldn't that be nice? The water I give will become in a person a spring of water, welling up to eternal life. Really? Yes, really. Prove it. First, go and call your husband and come back. I will show you both. I don't have a husband. You are right. You've had five husbands, and the man you're living with now is not your husband. I see you're a prophet. You're here to preach at me. Usually, the one good thing about coming here alone is I can escape being condemned. I'm not

here to condemn you. I've made mistakes too many, but it's men like you who have made it impossible for me to do anything about it. How our ancestors were shipped on this mountain, but you Jews insist Jerusalem is the only place for true worship. They say that because the temple is there, exactly where we're not allowed. I'm here to break those barriers, and the time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. So where am I supposed to go when I need God? I've never received anything from God, but I couldn't thank Him even if I did. Anywhere, God is spirit, and the time is coming and is now here that it won't matter where you worship but only that you do it in spirit and truth, heart and mind. That is the kind of worshiper He's looking for. It won't matter where you're from, on what you've done. Do you believe what I'm telling you? Until the Messiah comes and explains everything and sorts this mess out, including me.

I don't trust in anyone. You're wrong when you say that you've never received anything from God. This messiah you speak of, I am he. The first one was named Rameen. You were a woman of purity, was excited to be married, but he wasn't a good man. He hurt you, and it made you question marriage and even the practice of your faith. Stop it. The second was Farzad. On your wedding night, his skin smelled like oranges, and to this day, every time you pass by the oranges in the market, you feel guilty for leaving him because he was the only truly godly man you've been with, but you felt unworthy. Why are you doing this? [Music] I have not revealed myself to the public as the messiah. [Music] You are the first. It would be good if you believed me. You picked the wrong person. I came to Samaria just to meet you. Do you think it's an accident that I'm here in the middle of the day? I am rejected by others. I know.

but not by the messiah. [Music] And you know these things because you are the Christ. [Music] I'm going to tell everyone I was counting on it. [Laughter] Spirits and truth, spirit and truth. It won't be all about mountains or temples soon, just the heart you promised. I promise this man told me everything I've done. [Music] Oh, he must be the Christ. [Music] Hey. [Music] Rabbi, we got food. What would you like? Ah, I have food to eat that you do not know about. Who calls you food?
