Jesus made these twelve his missionaries, and gave them these instructions, don't go any where among the Gentiles, nor enter into any city of the Samaritans.

and he sent messengers before, who went to a town of the Samaritans, to prepare a lodging for him.

but a certain Samaritan being on the road, came where he was, and when he saw him, he took compassion on him,

then prostrating himself at the feet of Jesus, he gave him thanks. now this man was a Samaritan.

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, for that testimony which the woman gave him, "he told me all that ever I did."

so that when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired him to stay with them: and he stay'd there two days.

The Jews answered, and said to him, are we not in the right to say, that you are a Samaritan, and are really mad?

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem, heard that the Samaritans had embraced the word of God, they sent Peter and John,

after this the apostles having certified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel by the way in many villages of the Samaritans.
