John 4:9
How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me? She saw by
his dress, appearance, and the direction whence he came that he was of
the Jewish race. The antipathy between the Jews and Samaritans was so
bitter that they were never wont to ask any hospitable right. The
woman's reply is not a refusal of the Lord's request, but an expression
of astonishment that a Jew should ask a favor of a Samaritan.
