Summary: Guided by Photinai, the Samaritans go to see Jesus. Their leader speaks to him, and the Lord confirms that he is the Christ: he quotes Ezekiel, and tells them that his food is to do his Father's Will. He confirms that he was born of a virgin in Bethlehem. Then the leader asks him about their schism, because he thinks they will always be separated from God. Jesus declares that all would be pacified if they came to the Truth, but he also tells them that only sin kills the soul and union with God.

Cycle: The Samaritan woman

Summary: The apostles are not happy to be near the Samaritans. Jesus, on the other hand, doesn't care and gives advice to a woman who wants to remarry, a man who is afraid of contaminating himself near a pagan, and a father whose daughter has run away. Then he gives a speech to the Samaritans, quoting Ezekiel. He speaks of two sinful daughters: one represents Samaria, the other Israel. Finally, he invites them to return to God, to look up to Heaven.
