The document contrasts the stories of Nicodemus, a religious insider, and the Samaritan woman, a religious outcast, and their interactions with Jesus. It discusses the barriers faced by the Samaritan woman due to her race, culture, gender and morality. Jesus tells the woman he is the Messiah and can give her living water, and reveals to her details of her personal life. Both Nicodemus and the woman are thirsty, lost, have sinned, and need a new start, showing Jesus offers salvation to both insiders and outcasts.

“Those who drink of the
[living]water that I will give them
will never be thirsty… it will become
in them a spring of water gushing
up to eternal life.’ The woman said
to him, ‘Sir, give me this water!”
