There is so much to study in this parable.

Jews and Samaritans

Why was the woman there at noon? When did the women of those days usually get their water?

Water and living water — which Sacrament is Jesus talking about?

Does the Woman at the Well get what Jesus is saying? When?

The Disciples reaction

The woman’s reaction

The reaction of the people of Sychar

I forgot one thing.

The honesty of the woman.

Scott Hahn proposes that the woman’s “five husbands” represent the gods of the nations which, mixed with Hebrews, produced the Samaritan people. (This is not inconsistent with their also being five real-life husbands as well.)
