John 4:7-10 Part 1 of 2

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 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.) 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."

Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 
Genesis 24:17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, "Please give me a little water from your jar."
1 Kings 17:10  So he [Elijah] went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?"

(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 
John 4:5  So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
John 4:39  Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."

You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan 
Matthew 10:5-6  These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel"

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 
Isaiah 44:3  "For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants." 
Isaiah 55:1  "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost."
Jeremiah 21:3  "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."
Jeremiah 17:13  LORD, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water.
Zechariah 14:8  On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
