Another time, Jesus went through Samaria . He got tired and sat down by the
well. And his disciples went to town went to get some bread. And a woman
from the village comes to get water. Jesus asked her to drink. And the
woman says to him: “How come you, the Jews, do not communicate with us,
Samaritans, but you ask me for a drink?” – And Jesus said to her: "If
you would know me and what I teach, you would not say that, but would give
me a drink, and I would give you to drink the water of life.

The woman didn't understand him and said: “Where will you take some other
water? The only water here is in this well, of our father Jacob.” And he
said to her: “Who will drink your water, he will get thirsty again, but
who will drink my water, he will be always satisfied and will even start
giving this water to other people.” The woman realized what he was
talking about the divine, and says: “Yes, but I am Samaritan and you're
Jewish, and therefore you cannot teach me. Our people pray on this
mountain, and you, the Jews, say that the house of God is only in
Jerusalem. And Jesus said: “That was before, but now the time has come
when people will pray the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem,
but everyone will honor the heavenly Father not at either location, but in
spirit and truth. God is spirit, and He must be honored in spirit and in
truth.” The woman did not understand what he told her, and said: “I
heard that a messenger of God will come, and he will explain everything.
And Jesus said: “Woman, just understand what have I told you, and do not
expect anything more.”
(John 4, 4-26)
