Life of Jesus Story #6

The  Woman at the Well John 4:3-41

·         Jesus and his disciples were on their way from Judea to Galilee.

·         They took the road through a land called Samaria.

·         The people who lived there came from the families of Jacob the same as the Jews.

·         But the Samaritans and Jews did not get along with one another.

·         Jacob was one of the most important ancestors of all the people of Israel.

·         At noon, the disciples went into town to buy some food.

·         Jesus sat near a place called Jacob's Well to wait for them.

·         As he was waiting a woman the well.

·         Jesus asked her to give him a  drink.

·         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 told the people about Jesus.

·         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.

·         Jesus  stayed for two days.

·         After that many Samaritans put their faith in Jesus

·         as the woman had. They too believed that he was the Savior of the world.
