It was high noon in Samaria, the heat of the sun pointed out a wayside well—one with a history. One traveler, weary from his journey and the pressing throngs, rested here. The traveler was Jesus. He observed a woman coming from the village bearing a pitcher and as she came to the well-side he spoke to her: “Give me a drink.” “How is it that you, a Jew, ask drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” He replied, “If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, “Give me to drink;” thou wouldst have asked of Him and He would have given thee living water.”
“Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou that living water?”
The man replied, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
