    1. A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.

    2. The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

    3. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see or decide by what his ears hear,

    4. but with righteousness he shall judge for the poor and decide with equity for the oppressed of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

    5. Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist and faithfulness the belt around his loins.

    6. The wolf shall live with the lamb; the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion will feed together, and a little child shall lead them.

    7. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

    8. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder’s den.

    9. They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

    4. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus,

    5. for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind—

    6. just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you—

    7. so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    8. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    9. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Divisions in the Church

    4. But he had to go through Samaria.

    5. So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

    6. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon.

    7. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

    8. (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.)

    9. The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.)

    10. Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

    11. The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

    12. Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?”

    13. Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,

    14. but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”

    15. The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”
