^{Philippians 4:4 [1]} Jesus went through Samaria to show that He is the Savior of all people.

^{Philippians 4:4 [2]} Samaria was centrally located between Judea (south) and Galilee (north). The Jews despised Samaritans because they were Jews who had intermarried with non-Jews and followed a heretical religion. Most Jews traveled out of their way to avoid Samaria.

^{Philippians 4:9 [3]} The Jews considered Samaritan women ceremonially unclean.

^{Philippians 4:11 [4]} The woman's response is due to the fact that "living water" was the normal description for running water. She probably thought that Jesus was referring to the underground water source that fed the well.

^{Philippians 4:12 [5]} Jacob (renamed Israel in GEN 32:28) was the son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham and father of the twelve sons who established the twelve tribes of Israel.
