Jesus talks with a woman of Samaria, and reveals his identity to her.27. His disciples marvel. 31. He declares to them his zeal for God's glory. 39. Many Samaritans believe on him. 43. He departs into Galilee, and heals the ruler's son that lay sick at Capernaum. Jesus told her In this passage, Jesus is speaking to a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. This encounter is significant as it breaks several cultural norms of the time. Jewish men typically did not speak to women in public, especially Samaritan women, due to longstanding enmity between Jews and Samaritans. Jesus' willingness to engage with her demonstrates His mission to reach all people, transcending cultural and social barriers. This interaction foreshadows the inclusion of Gentiles in the New Covenant. Go, call your husband and come back. Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who engages in a transformative conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. 2. Samaritan Woman A resident of Samaria who encounters Jesus at Jacob's well. Her interaction with Jesus reveals deep spiritual truths and leads to a broader revelation of His identity. 3. Jacob's Well A significant historical and spiritual site in Samaria, where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman. It symbolizes the meeting point of physical and spiritual thirst. 4.

Breaking Barriers Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman breaks cultural, racial, and gender barriers, teaching us to reach out with love and inclusivity.

Honesty and Transformation Jesus' call for the woman to bring her husband invites honesty and transparency, leading to transformation. We are encouraged to bring our true selves to Christ. Witnessing and Evangelism The Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus leads her to share her experience with others, illustrating the power of personal testimony in evangelism.(16) Go, call thy husband.--She has asked for this living water. She knows not that the well must first be dug. In the depth of her spirit there is a power of life; but like the source of a spring, it is hidden. Many a hard rock of impenitence was there, and many a layer of every-day transgression, and many a habit once formable as clay, now hard as adamant, and many a deposit of carnal thought which had left nothing but its dregs behind. All this must be dug through before she can have the living water, and this well, too, must be deep. The command, "Go, call thy husband," is the first stroke breaking up the surface of that fair appearance, and revealing the foulness of the life beneath it.Verses 16-20. - (c) The heart-searching issuing in perception of the prophetic rank of Jesus. Verse 16. - [Jesus] saith unto her, fie, call thy husband, and come hither. Our Lord, by that Divine penetration and thought reading which the evangelist attributes to him (ch. 2), knew exactly what manner of woman this was, and wished to bring her secret sins to the light of her own conscience. The demand touched her heart at its most tender place, and was indeed a partial answer to her prayer, "Give me this water." Conviction of sin is the beginning of the great work of the Paraclete; it will end in full assurance of faith (so Neander, Stier, Tholuck, Luthardt, Weiss, and Edersheim). Numerous have been the explanations of the Saviour's demand, but none of them so congruous as this: e.g. (1) Lucke supposes that Christ would have the husband share in the bounty. (2) Meyer suggests that the Lord, by proving to her his prophetic glance in a region she could verify, was preparing her for similar confidence in himself in a higher and more momentous region. . . .
