These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not among the gentiles, neither enter into any city of the Samaritans:

and sent messengers before Him: who went into a village of the Samaritans to get a place ready for Him.

But a certain Samaritan, as he was travelling, came up to him, and when He saw him,

and fell prostrate at his feet, giving Him thanks; and He was a Samaritan.

And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar,

But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him, because of what the woman said, testifying, He told me all that ever I did.

Therefore when the Samaritans came to Him, they desired Him to stay with them: and He staid there two days.

The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?

And they having testified and declared the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
