Jacob’s Well holds a kind of sacred aura around it. And what’s really important is that this is the most authentic Bible site associated with Jesus anywhere in the Holy Land. It’s about 1 ½ hours north of Jerusalem in the area that was called Samaria in Bible times. Here on one of the main streets of the town of Nablus is the 4th century Greek Orthodox Church, St Photini that was built over the site of Jacob’s Well during the Byzantine period. It’s a truly beautiful church surrounded by gardens, and to get to Jacob’s well, we go down into the crypt of the church. We are now standing beside the same well where Jesus met the woman of Samaria. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus was travelling from Jerusalem to Galilee when he chose to walk through Samaria, an area that Jews would not normally enter. When he stopped at this well, he asked a woman from Samaria for a drink. She told him the well was deep, and it still is. The well is over 40m deep and pure spring water is still drawn from this well. If you want to drink the pure water from Jacob’s Well then it’s necessary to visit this place. But if you want to receive living water, then you can have it right now. Jesus is the living water will change your life forever and bring you true inner peace and happiness.
