John 4
It seems that the Pharisees really sat up and took notice when Jesus had more baptized followers than John had ever had.
The Samaritan woman at the week was responding to the feelings inside her and not simply a desire to reduce her workload by gaining a water source that would replenish itself when she asked Jesus to give her off the living water He spoke of.
Though she had been taught the incomplete theology of the Samaritans she recognized the figure of Christ and His role in the plan. Like many Jews she looked that understanding would come with the Messiah. She was not the only Samaritan there who was prepared to hear and believe.
