And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar,

So He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus told her, "Please give me a drink,"

Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

Jesus told her, "Believe me, dear lady, the hour is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

You [Samaritans] do not know what you worship; we [Jews] do know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews.

Just about then Jesus' disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], "What are you looking for?" or "Why are you talking to her?"

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
