The statement "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me..." was made by the woman of Samaria. This encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman is recorded in John 4:1-42. Jesus was passing through Samaria when He stopped at a well to rest. The woman of Samaria came to draw water from the well, and Jesus asked her for a drink. The woman was surprised that Jesus, a Jew, would speak to her, a Samaritan woman. There was a long-standing hostility between Jews and Samaritans, and Jews typically did not associate with Samaritans. However, Jesus engaged the woman in conversation and revealed to her that He was the Messiah. The woman was so moved by this encounter that she went and told others in her town about Jesus.
