      Introduction

      In the Samaritan encounter we know of the meeting between Jesus and the unknown Samaritan woman has a significant importance for our faith and our understanding of the Gospel.The Unknown woman at the Well becomes well-known to Jesus and the first true disciple of Jesus, outside of the band of Apostles. The Woman at the Well now brings her other Samaritan family and friends to meet Jesus. First this particular Samaritan encounter of Jesus gives us insights into the love Jesus had for those outside of Judea. Also, when the Samaritan Woman begins to react with Jesus, we start to understand the significance of the Samaritans and faith and the desire of other Samaritans to encounter Jesus and his message. In short, the Samaritan encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well is part of the Mystery of Faith.
