· The woman was surprised, You are a Jew she said to Jesus
· And I am a Samaritan.
· Jews will never take anything from Samaritan.
· You don't know who I am, Jesus said to her.
· If you did would ask me for the water that gives life.
· Sir the woman said, you don't even have a bucket.
· Where are you going to get this life giving water.
· Jesus told her everyone who drinks from the drink in this well will get thirsty again.
· But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again.
· It is like a flowing fountain that gives eternal life.
· The woman ran back to town.

· She said he was the messiah.
· the savior they called Christ.
· Some of the Samarians went to the well asked Jesus to stay in their town.
