These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them: "Do not go among the Gentiles, or enter any town of the Samaritans.

And he sent messengers on ahead, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;

But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion.

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

Then the woman of Samaria said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

Many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
