Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

The Samaritan woman at the well had lived with five men not her husband and the current one was not.  And she was an outcast since she went to the well at noon (Jewish time) or 5:00 PM (Roman time) and everyone always got their day’s supply of water in the morning.

John 4:15-18  –  John 4:39-42

Fact of the Day

No!  This woman had gone through the agony of being widowed five times!  Could you?  True, her sixth was not her husband, but she had been married to the others and lost them probably in tragedies of diseases and accidents and maybe even war. 

She was respected in the city.  When she told them about Jesus, she influenced the whole city to stop what they were doing, go down to Jesus and hear him.
