1. From the article and from your work in our class so far, what do you think makes this word important and what do you think it's basic meaning is?
Based off the text and how I interpreted the word Samaritan, I thought that it was just talking about Jesus getting water from a woman that just happened to live in Samaria. I have no idea about what was the point other than her being kind to him. When I have been in church I was always told just that the basic "moral" of the story was be kind to your neighbors, and just by reading the book of John I decided there was no need to question it. John is mostly about showing why people should believe in Jesus and that it is important to let other people know, his stories so they can also believe in the "messiah"
