Bible Question (short): Had Woman at Well Been Married 5 Times? |
Question (full): In St. John 4 Jesus tells the woman at the well that she has had five husbands and the one she now has it not her own. Most in our Bible study class have always surmised that the five were like the one she currently has "not her own" but the husbands of other women. However, some are of the opinion that she had been married five times. Is there biblical support to back either theory? Please send your response ASAP! Thanks! |
