27 But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
28 And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."
29 Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
In the above, the reader must understand that the 'children' Jesus came first to 'feed' were the 12 tribes of Israel - House of Israel. Then with them, all mankind who will hear.
The custom in that day used in this 'testing' of the Samaritan woman's faith, was not to interrupt the meal to feed the house pets - in this case 'little dogs.' Though some will try to twist this metaphor into an insult of this Gentile woman, this could not be further from the truth. Just read Jesus' reaction in Matthew 15:28 to see for yourself : 'O woman, great is your faith.'
The woman understood Jesus' test and persistently replied that even during the meal 'the little dogs' consumed 'the children's crumbs' that fall from the table. Jesus rewarded her persistence, granting her request and demanding the demon leave her little girl.
The first person that Jesus told he was the Messiah was a woman from Samaria, known as the Samaritan woman or the woman at the well.

Jacob's well in the Bible is significant in the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman because it is where Jesus meets the woman and reveals his identity as the Messiah. This encounter challenges social norms and demonstrates Jesus' message of inclusion and salvation for all people, regardless of their background or beliefs.
In John 4:12 Jesus asks "Are you greater than our father Jacob..." Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman at the well. She was amazed that anyone would allow a Samaritan to drink from this well as they were not liked by other Jews. Jesus told the Samaritan woman he could give her a drink that she would never be thirsty again. This of course was in reference to the word of his preaching.
John 4: tells us the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. In verse 10 Jesus tells the woman He could give her the "living water."
Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about the importance for a man to be born again if he is to be saved and see the kingdom of God. On the other hand, Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman about the importance of drinking from the water of life.
Probably from his accent. But it could also be that the Samaritan men dressed differently.
Jesus then told a parable about 'the good Samaritan'.
You can find the story of the woman at the well in the Bible in the Gospel of John, specifically in John 4:4-42. This passage describes Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman at a well, where he offers her living water and reveals that he is the Messiah.
They were buying food. see John 4:8. Note: The word 'meat' in this context means food.
In talking to a Samaritan woman at a well, Jesus explained what the requirements of pure worship are: “Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him.(John 4:23, 24)
The Gospel of John presents Samaritans favorably in three instances: the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4), the healing of the Samaritan leper (Luke 17:11-19), and the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).
