Our Savior Jesus, the Element of life, came to the Spring of Jacob, the head of the patriarchs, and was about to drink water at the hand of a Samaritan woman. But she intercepted Him by telling Him that the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. Albeit, the wise Creator turned her by the sweetness of His words rather to seek of Him the water of everlasting life, which, when she received, she proclaimed to all, saying, Come and see the Knower of secrets, God Who hath appeared in the flesh to save mankind.
