These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not:

and sent messengers before his face; and they advancing entered into a Samaritan village, to make preparation for him.

But a certain Samaritan travelling, came by him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion,

and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.

Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Then they, after bearing their testimony, and speaking the word of the Lord, returned towards Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
