Now, look. One time He seen a woman coming. He sent His disciples away. And He found a woman coming from a well, or to a well to get some water: Saint John the 4th chapter. And He seen this woman coming and she was a Samaritan. There’s a well there, near Samaria—Samari. So He…They all came to get water. And maybe it’s about noontime. They gone away to get something to eat. Maybe the woman…She was a prostitute; maybe just because she been out all night and just got up at that time or I don’t know what it was. She come at that time of day. But Jesus knew she was coming. And He said, “Bring me a drink.” And she said, “It’s not customary for Jews to ask Samaritans such, for we have no dealings” He said, “But if you knew Who you were talking to, you’d ask Me for a drink.” I wonder what He was doing. Now, let’s watch. He’s talking face to face with the woman. He’s contacting her spirit. See? He said, “Why, if you knew Who were speaking to, You’d ask Me.” She said, “The well’s deep, and You have nothing to draw.” He said, “But the waters that I give is living waters, that come up from the inside.” Said, “Well, our father’s worshipped in this mountain. And You say in Jerusalem…” The conversation went on until Jesus found just what she was—what her trouble was. He went right straight to her trouble. He said, “Go, get your husband.” She said, “I have none.” He said, “You’ve said well. You had five.” And she said, “Sir, I perceive that You’re a prophet.” And she went into the city saying, “Come, see a Man that told me all the things I ever done.” He never told her all she ever done; He told her just one thing she done. But if God could reveal that to Him, He can reveal all things to Him. Is that right? Said, “Come, see a Man that told me everything I ever—ever done. Isn’t this the very Christ?”
