Jesus says # to her,  “Give Me some to drink.”  8  (For His disciples had gone away to the city to buy meat.) [1]   9  Then says # the woman of Samaria to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, who is a woman of Samaria?” For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans....

the king version Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?” 2  And he said, “Men, brethren, and fathers, listen! [1] The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, [2]   3  and said unto him, ‘Get [3] out of your country and from your kindred, and come into the land which I shall show you.’ ( Gen. 12:1) 4  Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from there, [4] when his father was dead, He removed him into this land in which [5] you now dwell. 5  And He gave him no [6] inheritance in it — no, not so much as to set his foot on; yet He promised that He would give it to him for a possession and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 6  And God spoke in this way: [7] That his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat [8] them evil for four hundred years. 7  ‘And the nation to whom they ...
