The Jews "had no dealings with Samaritans'' in the time of Jesus. For hundreds of years hatred grew between them. Samaritans were half-breeds, not fully Jew or Gentile. When Jesus-wearied from His own journey- encountered a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, He did not see her with the hatred many in the culture did. He saw a woman who was weary. Weary from a life of sin and heartache. Are you weary? Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
