One of the most remarkable stories in the Bible is that of the meeting of Jesus and the woman of Samaria at Jacob's well, near the Samaritan city of Sychar. It is recorded in the fourth chapter of John.

It is remarkable for various things besides its major declaration of the messiahship of Jesus and his words concerning worship. It was remarkable that the meeting should have occurred at all, for it was contrary to custom and the assumed proprieties of the time that a man and woman should have thus been conversing in a public place. When the man was a Jew and the woman a Samaritan, it was all the more amazing, as the woman herself indicated in her question to Jesus.
