Seize the Moment (4-7)
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.
Necessity, compelled, “God moment”
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
the patriarch, the eleventh son of Jacob
This was an area which had many Jewish memories attached to it.
There was a piece of ground there which had been bought by Jacob (Genesis 33:18–19).
Jacob, on his deathbed, had bequeathed that ground to Joseph (Genesis 48:22).
And, on Joseph’s death in Egypt, his body had been taken back to Palestine and buried there (Joshua 24:32).
So around this area there gathered many Jewish memories.
6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well.It was about noon.
“wearied” exhausted, thoroughly fatigued through labor
The Greek text identifies the time as “about the sixth hour.”
The hours were counted from sunrise to sunset (roughly 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.), so the “sixth hour” was around noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
The normal time to draw water was morning or evening during the cooler hours of the day.
This woman is coming to draw water at a time when no one else would normally be at the well.

Break down the Barriers (9,16-18)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.
What you have just said is quite true.”
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.

After Assyria conquered the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BC and deported most of its people, Samaria was inhabited by a mixed population.
This included Israelites left behind after the deportation and foreign peoples relocated to the region from other parts of the Assyrian Empire (2 Kgs 17:24–41).
Those groups intermarried and thus a distinctly Israelite identity in Samaria was lost, forming the people group the Samaritans.
However, like the Jews, Samaritans worshiped Yahweh and used a version of the Pentateuch as their Scripture.
Jews and Samaritans typically had a mutual hostility based on ethnic, religious, and political barriers.
The normal prejudices of the day prohibited public conversation between men and women, between Jews and Samaritans, and especially between strangers.
A Jewish Rabbi would rather go thirsty than violate these proprieties.

How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.
What you have just said is quite true.”
She was totally an outcast
