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.
