These twelve Jesus sent forth, when he had charged them, saying, Go not away to gentiles, and enter not any city of the Samaritans;

And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

But a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and when he saw him, had compassion,

and he fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan.

The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman, who testified, He told me all things which I have done.

When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.

The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

They then, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and publishing the glad tidings in many villages of the Samaritans.
