These twelve did Jesus send, and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the ways that lead to the Gentiles, and in to the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not:

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

Then a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came nigh unto him: and when he saw him, had compassion on him,

and fell down on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks. And the same was a Samaritan.

Then the woman of Samaria said unto him, "How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan?" For the Jews meddle not with the Samaritans.

Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, for the woman's saying: which testified, "He told me all things that ever I did."

Then, when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them. And he abode there two days.

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, "Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast the devil?"

And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned toward Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many cities of the Samaritans.
