And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”

Jesus and the Woman of Samaria

Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;

The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.”

Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”

So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people,

They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.”

The Woman Caught in Adultery

[[They went each to his own house,

The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”

They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
