John 4 Summary
The Woman at the Well
Jesus speaks to a Samaritan woman, crossing cultural barriers. He offers living water: whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst again. She asks about worship; Jesus declares: the hour is coming when you will worship the Father in Spirit and truth. The disciples marvel he speaks to a woman. She testifies to her village.
