John 4:4-42
And it was necessary for Him to go through Samaria. Therefore, He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to Joseph, his son. And Jacob’s well was there. Therefore, Jesus, being weary from the traveling, after that was seated on the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman from Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink,” for His disciples were gone away to the city to buy food. Therefore, the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and Who it is Who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” The woman said to Him, “Lord, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where, then, do You have the living water? You are not greater than our father, Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and himself drank out of it, and his sons, and his cattle?” Jesus answered and said to her, “Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again. But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him, will not thirst. And the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water, springing up to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Lord, give me this water, that I may not be thirsty, nor come [all this way]C here to draw.” Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered and said, “I don’t have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “Rightly you said, ‘I don’t have a husband’. For you have had five husbands, and the man whom you have now is not your husband. This you have truly said.” The woman said to Him, “Lord, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and You say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, that there is coming an hour when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you have not known. We worship what we have known, because salvation is from the Jews. But there comes an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking those to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those worshipping Him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah, Who is called Christ, is coming. When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” And at this time, His disciples came, and were wondering that He was speaking with a woman. No one, however, said, “What do you seek,” or, “Why do you speak with her?” The woman then left her water jug, and went away to the city, and said to the men, “Come, see a Man who told me everything I ever did. Is this not the Christ?” Then they went out of the city, and were coming to Him. And in the meantime, the disciples were urging Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know.” Then the disciples said to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat.” Jesus said to them, “My food is that I may do the will of Him Who sent Me, and may finish His work. Do you not say that it is yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are already white unto harvest. And he who is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit to eternal life, in order that even he who sows may rejoice also together with him who reaps. For in this the saying is true, that one is the sower and another is the reaper. I sent you to reap that on which you have not labored. Others labored, and you have entered into their labor.” And many believed in Him from that city of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me everything I ever did.” Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days, and many more believed because of His word. They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your word. For we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly [Christ,]T the Savior of the world.”
Number of Fish: 1
Total fish: 13
Only the woman is counted as a fish as the number of Samaritans is an indeterminate number. We are told that she went to tell the men of the city, but never mentions her going to see her ex-husbands.
