⁶ Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, ^(A)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.^[a]

⁷ A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, ^(B)“Give me a drink.” ⁸ (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,^{[a] (A)}“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

²⁸ So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, ²⁹ “Come, see a man ^(A)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” ³⁰ They went out of the town and were coming to him.

Women Accompanying Jesus

8 Soon afterward he went on ^(A)through cities and villages, proclaiming and ^(B)bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, ² and also ^(C)some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: ^(D)Mary, called Magdalene, ^(E)from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and ^(F)Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them^[a] out of their means.

⁴⁶ Then Jesus, ^(A)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(B)into your hands I ^(C)commit my spirit!” And having said this ^(D)he breathed his last. ⁴⁷ Now ^(E)when the centurion saw what had taken place, ^(F)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” ⁴⁸ And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home ^(G)beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all ^(H)his acquaintances and ^(I)the women who had followed him from Galilee ^(J)stood at a distance watching these things.

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith. ²⁷ For as many of you as ^(B)were baptized ^(C)into Christ have ^(D)put on Christ. ^28 (E)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave^[a] nor free, ^(F)there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
