143:5.9 As Nalda was about to [[voice]] her real and [[personal]] longing for [[Goodness|better things]] and a more [[noble]] way of living, just as she was ready to [[speak]] the real [[desire]] of her [[heart]], the [[twelve apostles]] returned from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sychar Sychar], and coming upon this scene of [[Jesus]]' talking so [[intimately]] with this [[woman]]—this [[Samaritan]] woman, and alone—they were more than astonished. They quickly deposited their supplies and drew aside, no man daring to [[reprove]] him, while [[Jesus]] said to Nalda: " Woman, go your way; [[God]] has [[forgiven]] you. Henceforth you will live a new life. You have [[received]] the living water, and a new [[joy]] will spring up within your [[soul]], and you shall become a daughter of the [[Most High]]. " And the [[woman]], [[perceiving]] the disapproval of [[the apostles]], left her waterpot and fled to the [[city]].

143:5.10 As she entered the city, she [[proclaimed]] to everyone she met: " Go out to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob's_well Jacob's well] and go quickly, for there you will see a man who told me all I ever did. Can this be the [[Messiah|Converter]]? " And ere the [[sun]] went down, a great crowd had assembled at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob's_well Jacob's well] to hear [[Jesus]].

143:5.11 [[The apostles]] never ceased to be [[shocked]] by [[Jesus]]' willingness to talk with [[women]], women of questionable [[character]], even [[immoral women]]. It was very [[difficult]] for [[Jesus]] to teach his [[apostles]] that [[women]], even so-called immoral women, have [[souls]] which can [[choose]] [[God]] as their [[Father]], thereby becoming daughters of [[God]] and [[candidates]] for life everlasting. Even nineteen centuries later many show the same unwillingness to grasp [[the Master]]'s teachings. Even the [[Christian]] religion has been persistently built up around the [[fact]] of the [[death]] of [[Christ]] instead of around the [[truth]] of his life. The world should be more concerned with his [[happy]] and [[God]]-[[revealing]] life than with his [[tragic]] and sorrowful [[death]].

143:5.13 Nalda told [[John, the Apostle|John]] that [[Jesus]] had told her " all I ever did. " [[John, the Apostle|John]] many times wanted to ask [[Jesus]] about this [[visit]] with Nalda, but he never did. [[Jesus]] told her only one thing about herself, but his look into her eyes and the [[manner]] of his dealing with her had so brought all of her checkered life in [[panoramic]] review before her [[mind]] in a [[moment]] of [[time]] that she associated all of this [[self]]-[[revelation]] of her [[past]] life with the look and the [[word]] of [[the Master]]. [[Jesus]] never told her she had had five [[husbands]]. She had lived with four different men since her [[husband]] cast her aside, and this, with all her [[past]], came up so vividly in her [[mind]] at the [[moment]] when she [[realized]] [[Jesus]] was a man of [[God]] that she subsequently repeated to [[John, the Apostle|John]] that [[Jesus]] had really told her all about herself.
