Bible Question (short): Why is Samaritan woman married? |
Question (full): In the account of the Samaritan woman in John chapter 4, the Amplified Bible puts an interesting twist unlike other translations or versions. In verse 18 Jesus clearly states that the Samaritan woman was living with a man who was NOT her husband. Why then later in the chapter (verse 27) are the disciples astonished to see Him speaking with a married woman? |
