John 4:27-30 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that

He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?" (28) The

woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, (29) "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" (30) Then they went out of the

city and came to Him.
