For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? {Some ancient authorities omit For Jews have no dealings with Samaritians.}(For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
Who hath put wisdom in the {Or, dark clouds}inward parts?Or who hath given understanding to the {Or, meteor}mind?
but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
