John 4

<p>While traveling and teaching, Jesus visits Samaria, a region that the Jews intentionally avoided at all costs. Remember, in the history of Israel, there was a time when Israel split from Judah and tried to establish a center of rule and worship outside of Jerusalem; that location is Samaria. Though it would have been taboo in Jewish culture to do so, Jesus speaks to a woman there and asks her for a drink. This is not the only surprising incident in this interaction, as Jesus reveals his divine knowledge and his identity as the promised Messiah. Later, Jesus performs a long-distance miracle and heals the son of a local official from miles away.</p><p>:::</p><p>Christian Standard Bible translation.</p><p>All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.</p><p>Co-produced by Aaron Colyer and the Christian Standard Bible</p><p>facebook.com/commuterbible</p><p>instagram.com/commuter_bible</p><p>twitter.com/CommuterPod</p><p>patreon.com/commuterbible</p><p><a href="mailto:admin@commuterbible.org">admin@commuterbible.org</a></p>
