Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.”
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not take a road leading to gentiles, and do not enter a Samaritan town,
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.
“Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?”
They left the city and were on their way to him.
I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”
So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
(His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.)
