Come and See

Reading Alfred Edersheim
John 4:1–4

Sun over the plain.
Jacob’s well.
My jar.

He was sitting there.
He asked for water.

“You are a Jew.
How do You ask this of me?”

He spoke of living water.
He named my life.
I said: “You are a Prophet.”

And I asked:
Gerizim — or Jerusalem?

He answered:
the Father seeks worshippers
in spirit and in truth.

I said:
“The Messiah is coming.”

He said:
“I am He.”

I ran into the city:
Come!
See!
