Yet every nation was making their gods, and they put them in the shrine of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they [were] living.

Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them saying, "Do not go on the road to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans,

And he sent messengers before {him}, and they went [and] entered into a village of the Samaritans in order to prepare for him.

But a certain Samaritan who was traveling came up to him and, [when he] saw [him], had compassion.

And he fell on [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him. And he was a Samaritan.

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, being a Jew, ask from me [water] to drink, [since I] am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I have done."

So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. And he stayed there two days.

The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

So [when] they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they turned back toward Jerusalem, and were proclaiming the good news [to] many villages of the Samaritans.
