<TITLE>27. Par 222-228</TITLE>L-222 So this fill--ill-famed woman come out there about eleven-thirty or quarter to twelve, about this time of day; she come walking out there to get a bucket of water. And she let the--put the... I can see her put the old swivels here and the windle, let it down into the well, get a bucket of water. And just about time she started to bring it up, she heard somebody say, "Woman, bring Me a drink." And she looked over and there was a Jew. Now, they didn't have any dealings one another.
Middle-aged Man, He was about thirty. But the Bible said He looked fifty; you know that. He said...
"You say that You saw Abraham, and You're a Man not over fifty years old." He was only thirty. See? Said... I guess His ministry drug Him down quite a bit. So he said, "You say that You seen Abraham, now we know that You got a devil."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." See, He's the God of Abraham. Sure, He was. He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Sure.

L-225 And now, there He's setting at the well; He said, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
She said, "It's not customary. We have a segregation here." Like they used to in the south was...?... colored and white. See? She said, "We have segregation here. Not customary for You to ask me, You, a Jew, ask me a woman of Samaria to bring any favor or anything. We have no dealings with one another." She was a little prostitute woman, you know, so probably a pretty little woman. And she was standing there, maybe her curls all down in her face, you know, and been out all night. And--and so she said, and she said, "It's not customary for You to ask me, a woman of Samaria, such."
He said, "Woman, if you knew Who were talking to you, and you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." That's the Messiah yesterday. See? "You'd ask Me for a drink; I'd give you water you don't come here to draw."

L-228 "Why," she said, "the well is deep, and You have nothing to draw with, when can You give me any water?" Said, "Our father Jacob..." See, she was Samaritan, but she called Jacob her father too. "Our father Jacob drunk of this well, his cattle, his family. And yet You say You got water greater than this?" Said, "You say 'worship,' You being a Jew, You say at Jerusalem. We say in this mountain."
He said, "Woman, the time is coming, and now is, that when the true worships will worship God in the Spirit, 'cause God is a Spirit." See? "Father seeks such to do so." What was He doing? He was talking to her to contact her spirit. See? Now, remember, He's got to be Messiah before them Samaritans.
228a      And directly He found her trouble. How many knows what it was? Sure. She was living with her sixth husband.
So, you see, it's wrong when you got a living husband, is in, and--and so forth, and going out. And just for any cause, put a woman away, and marry her, and go marry another one, marry another one, marry another one, you shouldn't do that. So He said she...
Then said, I guess, she was living without even being married to them. She might have never married to them. She might have not never even been married. So she said all these evil things, you know, done all this evil stuff.
So then while He was standing there, looking at her like that, He said, "Go, bring Me a drink." And she said... " But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. I'll bring you water you don't come... I'll give you water, you don't come here to drink." Then He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "Sir, I have no husband."
"Oh," He said, "you have said well. You've had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. In it you said well."
