These twelve Jesus sent forth, having commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into a city of the Samaritans enter not:

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 journeying, came where he was, and seeing 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 dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

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

So when the Samaritans were come to him, they besought him to tarry with them.

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

But a certain man, named Simon, had been before in the city, using magic, and astonishing the Samaritans, saying, that he was some great one.

They then, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned toward Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
