Jesus breaks social barriers by having a deep theological conversation with a Samaritan woman.

Ministry of JesusNew Testament

What Happened

Traveling through Samaria, Jesus stops at Jacob's well and asks a Samaritan woman for water — something no Jewish man would do. He reveals he knows about her complicated past and offers her 'living water' that satisfies forever. She becomes one of the first evangelists, running to tell her whole town about him.
