14 But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”

16 Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17 “I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18 In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
