These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and enter ye not into any city of the Samaritans.

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

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

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

Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that ever I did.

So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

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

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