Samaritans were looked down upon by the Jews of the day. They would not even speak to them unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Samaritans were the descendants of the people that Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar had transferred there after the fall of Jerusalem to occupy the abandoned homes. Moving entire populations was a common practice in those days, to pacify the populace.
They were not Jewish, but Gentiles, from other parts of the empire. They intermarried with the few Jews that were left in the region, but were considered a ‘mongrel’ race by the returning Jews.
They eventually adopted Jewish customs and practiced the religion to a degree, but remained at odds with the orthodox Pharisees and Sadducees of the ruling class.
That Jesus even spoke to the woman was a surprise to her................
These paintings are beautiful gifts from God Almighty Himself.
Thyank you, Dan.
Many great paintings. In a way, the Samaritan woman became one of the first missionaries, happily going back to her village to spread all she had learned from Jesus. A great episode in The Chosen too.
#6 FRanceschini for the clarity, reminds me a lot of Bloch.

Good Morning Dan, and a Friday of appreciation to all.
Many fine choices of wonderful paintings today, and stunning glass as well.
Very thankful for your art ministry Dan.
Your narrative agrees with my understanding and provides an excellent backdrop to this fascinating story.
Of further interest is their eagerness in responding to Jesus’ gospel message without needing to see healing miracles, which are not mentioned.
As we discussed yesterday. We are praising You, our Lord!
stunning glass = fenster fun!
Further proof of:
Acts 28:28 NIV
“Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
Good citation, Mike.
That series has given another view on so much. I especially like the snippets of the old Saints like Jacob digging the Well or Moses and the Bronze serpent.
Having just finished John MACs book , ‘TWELVE ORDINARY MEN’ Before getting the released Three seasons of the series has truly added to the value of THE CHOSEN.
Watched through season two and nothing has
Seemed contrary to scripture to me.
.
If anyone wants to critique movies-—
Let’s rip on ‘Jesus Christ SUPERSTAR!’
.
Cheers
Which is my reaction to all three seasons.
thank you for more wonderful art
If muslim women could only get a glimpse of Christ’s message. If only they would understand the peace and the love that He has for them. If only they could be free to fellowship with the only True and Living God...
My mind wandered in that direction because of the love poured upon the woman at the well. She had not know love or joy until Jesus.
The Chosen
the ladies I Bible study with also watch The Chosen and we have yet to find it contradicting Scripture
the very cool thing is that a couple of them have spouses who have no interest in the Bible, yet, they are being drawn into The Chosen series - because it is so well done
had not knowN love...
Jesus is able to reach Gentiles of every persuasion. Heaven will be densely populated.
Have you ever heard how The Chosen got started?
I still get misty with the Series Opener
“I Call You By Name”...
.
I picked up season one DVD for a BUCK
about a month ago. Went through All the controversies and recommend it when discussing it.
It gives Dynamics of relationships that are not real apparent in Scripture.
.
I’m saving Season Three for a while.
Cheers!
