The Story Begins - Let us consider the background of the Samaritan woman whom Jesus met. The Samaritans were a mixed race descended partly from the ten tribes of Israel, and partly from non-Jewish immigrants, the Assyrians. They inherited the central Palestine of Bible times, between Judea in the south and Galilee in the north. Their faith and daily life was based on the first five books of the Old Testament alone. They rejected the rest of the other Jewish Scriptures. Consequently, due to their partial understanding of God's ways with His people, they looked forward to see, with a great deal of speculation, who the prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18 could be.
Therefore, conflict points arose in the Samaritan womans mind when she talked with Jesus, a male Jew from Judah's line.
