Jesus and Samaritan Woman

Jesus traveled through Samaria, where he encountered a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, asking her for a drink. He revealed knowledge of her life, discussing spiritual worship and offering her 'living water' that leads to eternal life, ultimately confessing to be the Messiah. After speaking with him, the woman shared her experience with the townsfolk, leading many to believe in Jesus as the Savior.

Spiritual◦
Jesus was travelling from Judea back to Galilee and decided to go through the region of Samaria where the Samaritan people lived. The Samaritans were a race of Jews that had in the past inter-married with other races. The Jews did not allow Samaritans to worship with them or have anything to do with them. Jews normally avoided travelling through Samaria.
Now He came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there so Jesus, since He was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water. (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
Jesus asked her, “Will you give me a drink?” “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan,” she said. “How can you ask me for a drink?” She knew Jews refused to associate with Samaritans.
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
“You don't have anything to draw water from this deep well. Where would you get life-giving water?” the woman asked. Jesus answered, “Those who drink ordinary water will get thirsty again, but I am talking about the life-giving water that will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
“Give me that water so I will never be thirsty again or have to come here to draw water,” the woman demanded. “Go and call your husband,” Jesus told her, “and come back.” “I don't have a husband,” she protested.
“You are right,” Jesus told her. “You have been married to five men, and the man you live with now is not really your husband.” The woman was shocked Jesus knew so much about her and exclaimed, “You are a prophet.”
She continued, “Samaritans worship God on this mountain, but you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where we should worship God.”
“Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.” Jesus said. He explained, “A time has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
“I know when God’s Savior, the Messiah comes He will tell us everything,” she replied. “I am the Messiah,” Jesus announced, “you are talking to Him.”
At that point the disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. The woman left her water jar and raced back into the town telling everyone, “Come and meet the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could He be the Messiah?”
The Samaritans came out to meet Jesus and begged Him to stay with them. Jesus stayed there two days and many believed that Jesus was the Messiah. They told the woman, “We believe because we too have heard Him, and we know that He really is the Savior of the world.”
