Gospel of John recounts Jesus's interaction with a Samaritan woman at a well, highlighting his offer of "living water" and declaration as the Messiah. Despite social barriers between Jews and Samaritans, Jesus reveals intimate details about her life, leading her to recognise him as a prophet. Her subsequent testimony prompts many Samaritans to believe in Jesus. The text then shifts to describe Jesus healing a royal official's son from a distance, demonstrating his power and inspiring faith in the official and his household. These episodes illustrate Jesus's inclusive ministry and the power of his words and miracles to generate belief.
