Gospel Reflections: Conversations with the Samaritan woman

1. Why Jesus (a Jew) asked for water to the Samaritan woman? Why did Jesus introduce Himself to the Samaritan woman? Why did Jesus want to follow the wishes of the people of Samaria to stay longer there?

2. Why the new Samaritan woman came to the well at noon (at 12)? Why did the Samaritan woman interest and very enthusiastic when Jesus wanted to give the Living Water? Why did she leave her water jar and go to town then said to the people there?

3. Why do the disciples of Jesus surprised to see Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman? Why did they not ask it to Jesus?

4. Why is the population of Samaria would listen to the words that the Samaritan woman? Why they want to meet Jesus and ask Him to stay longer? Why do they believe in Jesus?
