The Savior of the World
39 Now many Samaritans(A) from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said[b] when she testified,(B) “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him,(C) they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of what He said.[c] 42 And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior(D) of the world.”[d]
