Project Description
Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman provides a stark contrast to His conversation with Nicodemus in John 3. Nicodemus was wealthy, educated, religious, prestigious, and moral. The Samaritan woman was poor, uneducated, an outcast, and immoral; yet she — not Nicodemus — receives what Jesus is offering and leads many others to Christ. Why is that, and why does John place these two accounts back-to-back?
