The question you have asked contains almost all that is known of the woman of Samaria. She was a resident of Sychar, a town in Samaria. She had had 5 husbands and was living with a man to whom she wasn't married. None of the accounts of Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well contain the woman's name. Jesus remained in Sychar for two days. It is highly probable that He and the disciples learned the woman's name (and her boyfriend's) during that time. Those names, whatever they were, were known only to the people there present. They were nowhere recorded in Scripture.

From what Bible story is the children's song 'Deep and Wide' and what are the complete lyrics?

John 4: 5So he (Jesus) came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph: 6 Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water. 8 For his disciples had gone to the town to get food. 9 The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria. 10 In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water. 11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle? 13 Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again: 14 But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life. 15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.There are several different versions but this is the original:Deep and wideDeep and wideThere's a fountainflowing deep and wideDeep and wideDeep and wideThere's a fountainflowing deep and wideWide and deepWide and deepThere's a fountainflowing wide and deepWide and deepWide and deepThere's a fountainflowing wide and deep

What is holly cummunion?

Do you mean 'holy communion'? That is when you remember the last supper that Jesus had with his diciples. You eat bread to remember Jesus' body (he gave his diciples this too) and you also drink wine to remember his blood (although usually it is a wine substitute). Jesus also gave his diciples the wine.


What was the name of the well Jesus went to to talk to the Samaritan women?

Although her name is not spoken of in the Bible (John 4), she is traditionally called "Photini', which literally means "the enlightened one." Because of the crucial role she plays in the conversion of her Samaritan village (and perhaps, even most of Samaria), she is given a place of honor in the Church in general, and in the Orthodox faith specifically. See http://www.orthodoxchristian.info/pages/photini.htm


What Jesus do to earn money?

When the Pharisees sent their disciples to Jesus to try and entangle Him in His words they asked if it was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar? Requesting a coin from them, Jesus then asked whose image and superscription was on the coin; the Pharisees answered and said, Caesar's. The Lord then replied, "…., Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." Matthew 22:21. So the answer to the question is, no. The Lord taught of the things of God and life eternal, not of Caesar and wealth creation from which taxes are paid. He also taught that, "….the love of money is the root of all evil:….." 1 Timothy 6:10. So he had a good understanding of how some people fall deeply in love with their cash and what lengths they will go to get it. But there's nothing wrong with having, and making money, legally.>


What is the order of serving the bread and wine in communion?

Answer:It would be done, of course, in the order in which Jesus demonstrates to us:"...Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to His disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until the day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom." (Matt.26:26-29)
