Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well:and it was about the sixth hour.� 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)� 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.� 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.� 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:� 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.� 17The woman answered and said, I have no husband.�Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:� 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.� 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.� 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.� 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27�And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?� 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?� 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.� **** Jesus said ask and He would give the gift of God, which is eternal life Post Reply
sisygirl View Profile History	The Woman at the Well Posted : 16 Sep, 2013 01:55 AM Yes my darling sis' Jesus went interntionally there by the well so He could meet up with this lady & confide to her the big secret of who He really is (the Messaia everyone is awaiting for) I think the lady never expected to fnd anyone there by the well around that time, (keep in mind that's me thinking) She must have been most ladies enemy since she takes their husbands. I really envy this woman Teach, She was met right at her hour of need, A need not only for water, but a need for love too Hense she already has 5husbands who are not rightfully hers. This is a precious soul crying out for attention & love (again its me thinking, I by no means mean to add my own words in God's word. It only make a little sense when one makes a scenario in her mind while reading so there's a understanding of what could have been taking place there by the well) Only to meet up with the very souce of love Himself who didn't judge her behavior but rather understood where it was coming from. When others had to guess who Jesus was, Including the very Peter whom it was revealed to him by the Holly spirit who Jesus was..... It was just different with this lady, he entrusted her without asking questions of guess work. I consider her very blessed. Are there other servants that Jesus told them who He was at first site? I'm not really sure maybe it needs a research. Could be onother subject for onother day. Thank you Teach for reminding me of this passage. You're more of a blessing than you can ever know my sister!!

I love these verses... Jhn 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. *** She was Thirsty....She also was the 1st women we have recorded in the Bible as going to others to speak of Him as a Witness of Him... Jhn 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jhn 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. Jhn 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? *** A women looked down upon from the Jews perspective...He Chose her...WOW...He is Amazing....XO Post Reply
