However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.

Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.

and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."

So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"

They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
