Jesus talks to strangers

O.K. sorry we skipped a chapter but this story is a story you learn from Sunday school, it's called; Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman.

¹The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, ²although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. ³When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
Now he had to go through Samaria. ⁵So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. ⁶Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
⁷When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" ⁸(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

You got to know Jews and Samaritans didn't get along so well back then, so this was not usual. Also, If i was the Samaritan I would have said, "you have hands and feet, you go get it."

⁹The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.^a]">[a])

I believe that i just said that.

¹⁰Jesus 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."
¹¹"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? ¹²Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
¹³Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, ¹⁴but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
¹⁵The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
¹⁶He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."

Who in the right mind would call their husband to say their getting water?

¹⁷"I have no husband," she replied.
Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. ¹⁸The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."

Well, that's a fine "how do you do". The woman has no husbands, she just has 5 ex-husbands.

¹⁹"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. ²⁰Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."
²¹Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. ²²You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. ²³Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. ²⁴God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

One point for the Jews!

²⁵The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
²⁶Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."

Lets recap. Jesus goes through Samaria and sits by a well, then a Samaritan comes through and gets water from the well, and Jesus asks for a drink. Then she talks bout how hes a Jew and they talk about the water of life. Then she say she knows that the Lord is coming and she knows that he will explain every thing. Jesus replys by say that she just did.

I believe that's it and I don't really know whats next.
