At Jacob's Well
The only episode that depicts Christ Jesus with a woman alone is related to the scene at a water well in a village.
John 4:5-42New International Version (NIV)
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the welland drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
A woman who can marry so many times must be attractive in a sense. So, this is the scene that Christ Jesus casually spoke to an attractive woman when none was there except the two.
But, Christ Jesus could see her past. She married many times for whatever reasons. Such a woman must be a little dangerous if she looks fine. And such a woman must be corrected, if possible.
Indeed, she exchanged words with Christ Jesus so boldly, even mentioning Jacob. She tried to suppress Christ Jesus with the name of Jacob. But, Christ Jesus was the Son of God who had power to correct any dangerous woman.
And, this episode shows a pattern that His followers must follow when each of them is alone with an attractive and dangerous woman. They have to correct such a woman before any other scenario is pursued.
Christ Jesus never chats with a woman but corrects a woman.
He was a very busy man, since there were so many sinful women.!
