Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Out of the four Gospels, which one tells of the meeting between Jesus and Samaritan woman at the well?

Answer: John

The meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well is told in only the Gospel of John. Details of the encounter appear in John 4:1-42. In order of appearance, John appears after Matthew, Mark and Luke in the New Testament. Tradition holds the writer of the Gospel was John, one of the original Twelve Disciples.
2. What was the name of the Samaritan woman Jesus met at the well?

Answer: No name is given

No name is given in Scripture for the Samaritan woman Jesus met at the well. It's not unusual that the woman is not identified, as a number of females are not named in the New Testament. Some examples that leap to mind are the woman who had a bleeding problem and was healed after she secretly touched Jesus and the widow at Nain whose unnamed son was raised from the dead.
3. What was the name of the well where Jesus met the woman?

Answer: Jacob's well

Jacob's well is the correct answer. John 4:5-6, in the NKJV, states: "So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour."
4. What was unusual about Jesus having a conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well?

Answer: Jews and Samaritans generally did not associate with each other.

In Biblical times, Jews and Samaritans did not associate with each other. In a nutshell, there was outright hatred between the two races.

John 4:9 in the NKJV states, "Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, 'How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?' For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans."

Despite this background, Samaritans are painted in a good light in the New Testament with Jesus often mingling with them and performing miracles in their midst.
5. During their conversation, Jesus astounded the woman by informing her He knew how many times she had been married. How many times had the woman been married?

Answer: 5

Even though Jesus had never met the Samaritan woman at the well, He knew she had been married five times. In John 4:17, Jesus is quoted as telling the woman she had five husbands "and the one whom you now have is not your husband."

Later, after their meeting, the woman told her friends, "He told me all that I ever did." (See John 4:39)
6. As per the KJV, NKJV and NIV Bibles, what did Jesus offer the woman at the well?

Answer: Living water

According to the KJV, NKJV and the NIV Bibles, Jesus offered the Samaritan woman at the well "living water". Jesus made the offer to the woman after He had requested a drink.

When He requested a drink, the woman expressed surprise at the request as Jews and Samaritans did not have any dealings with each other.

John 4:10 in the NKJV tells what happened next: "Jesus answered and said to her, 'If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water'."
7. What did Jesus say would happen if the woman drank the water He has to offer?

Answer: She would never thirst and have eternal life.

The correct answer is the woman would never thirst and would have eternal life if she partook of the water Jesus had to offer.

John 4:13-14, in the NKJV, quotes Jesus as telling the woman: "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
8. When the woman asked Jesus as to the right place to worship (on the mountain they were on or in Jerusalem) what did Jesus tell her, as per the KJV, NKJV and the NIV?

Answer: Anywhere, as long as the worship is in spirit and truth

After the woman at the well proclaimed Jesus to be a prophet she asked Him about where one should worship God.

In John 4:19-20, the woman asks: "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."

In His response, Jesus stated God is spirit and is not limited to one place only. In other words, true worship can take place anywhere providing it is in "spirit and truth."

Christ's complete reply to the woman appears in Verses 21-24 with the verses stating: "Jesus said to her, 'Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth'."
9. When the woman at the well told Jesus she knew the Messiah was coming, what did Jesus tell her in the NKJV?

Answer: "I who speak to you am He."

In John 4:26, in he NKJV, when the woman at the well said she knew the Messiah was coming, Jesus responded by stating "I who speak to you am He."

Scripture goes on to tell of the woman leaving her waterpot at the well and going into the city telling people she had met a Man who had told her all the things she had ever done. People responded to the woman's statements by going to meet with Jesus.

John 4:39 states "many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified." Scripture tells of Jesus staying with the people for two days "and many more believed because of His own word."
10. Were the disciples with Jesus during His encounter with the woman at the well?

Answer: No

No. The disciples were not with Jesus. According to John 4:8, the disciples had "gone away into the city to buy food." Verse 27 tells of the disciples returning and asking Him why He was talking to the woman.
