Summary

John 4:1-16 & John 7:37-39

At Jacob’s well, Jesus surprises a Samaritan woman by asking for a drink and then offering her “living water”—not the cool well water she expected. Kids will hear the conversation they have as the woman is puzzled by Jesus’ words.

She is also shocked that even though He knew her past, He spoke kindly and welcomed her.

0:00.0	Hello again and welcome back to Kids' Bible Stories.
0:05.0	Today's story is called More Than a Drink, Living Water.

0:41.6	deep enough, you can get water. Pretty amazing. Well, long ago, before pipes and faucets,
0:59.7	families came here to the well with buckets to pull up fresh, cool water, to drink and cook with. Wells were often the best spot in the village for gathering

2:00.6	He sat down beside an old stone well, the very same one Jacob had given
2:06.5	to his son Joseph many, many years before. Just then, a woman from Samaria walked up carrying her clay jar.
2:20.3	It was around the sixth hour, so the sun was high and the water in the well felt nice and cool.
