U ovom diplomskom radu bit će prikazan susret našega Gospodina i žene Samarijanke te će se razmatrati neki ključni dijelovi toga susreta i razgovora. Važnost ovoga rada leži u samoobjavi Isusa ženi iz poganskog naroda koja prihvaća njegovu objavu i sama postaje njegova misionarka. Kako bismo bolje razumjeli dubinu i kontekst ovog razgovora na početku rada prikazuje se tadašnji položaj žene u usporedbi s današnjim, kao i mjesto Samarija, njezin povijesni i geografski smještaj te neprijateljski odnos Židova i Samarijanaca. U drugom poglavlju naglasak se stavlja na glavna obilježja narativnog izvještaja susreta Isusa i Samarijanke. Evanđelist u svojoj teološkoj koncepciji posebno mjesto daje dijalogu Isusa i Samarijanke i Isusovoj objavi Samarijancima pa će u tom poglavlju biti utkane važne teološke teme kao što su Isus kao izvor vode žive, klanjanje u duhu i istini, misijsko poslanje učenika te već spomenuta Isusova samoobjava i vjera žene Samarijanke. Tehnika „ivanovskog nesporazuma“ vodi nas Isusovu postupnu objavljivanju ženi dok ona polako raste u vjeri. Samarijanka je prošla hod s Isusom od trenutka kada su bili stranci, nakon toga je on postao za nju gospodin, prorok i na kraju Mesija. Zbog njene spoznaje Isusa kao Mesije u trećem poglavlju kratko je opisana i sama ideja Mesije i mesijanske tajne. Osobni susret s Mesijom naposlijetku je Samarijanku od puke sugovornice pretvorio u pravu Isusovu misionarku, čije navještanje omogućuje Isusovu objavu i njenom narodu koji ga prihvaća.

This paper will show the encounter of our Lord and Samaritan woman and will consider some key parts of their encounter and the conversation. The importance of this paper lies in Jesus' self-proclamation to a pagan woman which accepts his proclamation and becomes his missionary. To understand better the depth and context of this conversation, at the begginig of this paper is described womans position those days in comparison with todays, so as Samaria, her historical and geographical location and hostile relation between Jews and Samaritans. In the second chapter are stressed main characteristics of narative statement of Jesuus' and Samaritan womans encounter. Evangelist in his theological conception gives a special place to their dialogue and Jesus' proclamation to Samaritan people. Consequently, that chapter will contain important teological themes- Jesus as the water of life, worshiping in the truth and spirit, misionary mission of the disciples and already mentioned Jesus' self- proclamation and the faith of Samaritan woman. The technique of „Johns misunderstanding“ leads us to Jesus' progressive proclamation to a woman while she slowly grows in faith. The Samaritan woman walked alongside Jesus all the way from the initial phase of strangers, then he became the Lord, the prophet, the Messiah for her, and she became his first missionary in the end. Because of her recognition of Jesus as a Messiah in the last chapter we have a short description of the term Messiah and messianic secret. Personal encounter with Messiah made the stranger to his true Jesus' misionary, whose proclamation enabled Jesus to announce himself to her people who then accepted him.
