These twelve Jesus sent forth, having charged them, saying, "Go not into any way of the gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans;

and He sent forth messengers before His face; and, journeying onward, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.

But a certain Samaritan, going on his way, came down to him; and, seeing him, he was moved with compassion;

and fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him; and he was a Samaritan.

The Samaritan woman, therefore, says to Him, "How is it that Thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans).

And many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me all that ever I did."

When, therefore, the Samaritans came to Him, they kept asking Him to abide with them: and He abode there two days.

The Jews answered and said to Him, "Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?"

They, therefore, having fully testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and preaching the Gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
