Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel. They acquired Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns. When they first lived there they did not respect Jehovah. So Jehovah sent lions among them, causing some of them to die. They said to the king of Assyria: The nations you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land. He has sent lions among them causing their death. This is because they have no knowledge of his way. read more.
Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying: Send one of the priests you took from there. Let him live there and teach the people the way of the god of the land. So one of the priests they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back. He lived in Bethel and taught them how to worship Jehovah. EVERY NATION MADE GODS FOR THEMSELVES. They put them in the houses of the high places the Samaritans had made. The men of Babylon made Succothbenoth and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. So they worshipped Jehovah. They appointed priests from the people for the high places. The priests were to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places. They worshipped Jehovah, but they gave honor to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners. So to this day they go on in their old ways. They do not worship Jehovah. They do not keep his orders, his ways, or the law Jehovah gave to the children of Jacob. They are the ones he gave the name Israel. Jehovah made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying: You are to have no other gods. You are not to worship them or be their servants or make them offerings. Jehovah took you out of the land of Egypt with his great power and his outstretched arm. He is your God, to whom you are to give worship and make offerings: You are to obey and do forever the law he put in writing for you. You are to have no other gods. You are to keep in memory the agreement I made with you. You are to have no other gods. You are to worship Jehovah your God. It is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you. But they paid no attention and they continued in their old way. So these nations worshiped Jehovah and they still served the images (idols) they had made. Their children and their children's children did the same. They do just as their fathers did to this very day.

It was about the sixth hour when Jesus arrived. Being weary from the journey he sat down by the well. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her: Please give me a drink. His disciples went away to the city to buy meat. The woman of Samaria asked: How is it that you being a Jew ask for a drink from me? I am a woman of Samaria. [The Jews did not associate with Samaritans.] (Not in early manuscripts.) Jesus answered: If you know the gift of God and who asked you for a drink, you would have asked him to give you living water. The woman said to him: Sir, you do not have anything with which to draw water and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well. He and his children and cattle drank from it. Jesus answered: Whoever drinks from this water will thirst again. But whoever drinks from the water that I give him will never thirst. The water that I will give him will be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water! That way I will not thirst and not come here to draw. Jesus said to her: Go call your husband and come here. The woman answered: I have no husband. Jesus replied to her: You said well, I have no husband. For you have had five husbands. The one you have now is not your husband, this is true. The woman said to him: Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain. But you say Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus replied: Woman believe me. The hour comes when you will worship the Father neither in the mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know. Salvation is from the Jews. But the hour comes and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father with spirit and truth. The Father seeks such people to worship him. God is a Spirit. They who worship him must worship him with spirit and truth. The woman responded: I know that Christ the Messiah is coming. When he comes he will tell us all things. Jesus said: I that speak to you am he. His disciples came and wondered why he talked with the woman. Yet no one asked: What are you looking for? Why did you talk to her? The woman left her water pot and went to the city. She spoke to the men. Come see a man who told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Christ? They left the city to see him. In the meantime his disciples urged him to eat. He said: I have food to eat that you do not know about. So the disciples said to each other: Has any man brought him something to eat? Jesus said: My food is to do the will of him that sent me. To finish his work! Do you say there are four months until the harvest comes? I say to you lift up your eyes and look on the fields. They are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for life eternal. Both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. That saying is true. One sows and another reaps. I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Other men labored and you entered into their labors.
