in the texts
Letters
Biblical woman who had five husbands, addressed by the Lord.
Hence the Lord too said to the Samaritan woman, who had changed five husbands, "He whom you now have is not your husband" — as if those who have exceeded the measure of a second marriage are no longer worthy to be called by the name of husband or wife.
Adversus Marcionem
Woman at the well from the Gospel of John, cited in dialogue with the Lord about the proper place of worship.
But also otherwise the Samaritans were always self-pleasing concerning the mountains and wells of their fathers — as in the gospel of John that Samaritan woman in colloquy with the Lord at the well:
Adversus Praxean
Woman to whom Jesus revealed himself as the Christ.
" But whom did he show to the Samaritan woman?
De Carne Christi
The woman at the well connected to the episode where Christ is said to have thirsted, cited as evidence of his human bodily need.
He hungered under the devil, he thirsted under the Samaritan woman, he wept over Lazarus, he trembled at death ("For the flesh," he says, "is weak"), at last he poured out blood.
De Monogamia
Woman at the well whom Christ tells has had many husbands, used as an example against plural marriage
when he denies the Samaritan woman a husband, that he might show a numerous husband to be an adulterer;
De Pudicitia
Woman at the well in her sixth marriage, cited as example of the Lord's mercy.
as when to the Samaritan woman, now in her sixth marriage, not an adulteress but a prostitute, he showed even — what he does easily to no one — who he was — nothing is from this conferred upon our adversaries, even though he had already granted to Christians pardon of offences.
