In the New Testament, Samaritans are often depicted as a distinct ethnic and religious group, separate from the Jews, with whom they had a long-standing enmity. The term is used to describe individuals from this group, often highlighting the cultural and religious tensions between Samaritans and Jews.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Samaritans trace their origins to the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC. Over time, they intermarried with foreign settlers, leading to a distinct religious identity that included worship on Mount Gerizim and acceptance of only the Pentateuch as Scripture. By the time of Jesus, Jews and Samaritans had deep-seated animosities, partly due to differences in worship practices and historical conflicts. Despite this, Jesus' interactions with Samaritans, such as the parable of the Good Samaritan and His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, illustrate a breaking down of these barriers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4540.htm">Samareia</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Samaritan, an inhab. of the region of Samaria<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Samaritan (3), Samaritans (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4541: Σαμαρείτης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Σαμαρείτης</span></span> (<span class="greek2">Σαμαρείτης</span> <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>; (see <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 87; <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 154; cf.

The origin of the Samaritans was as follows: After Shalmaneser (others say Esarhaddon, cf. <a href="/interlinear/ezra/4-2.htm">Ezra 4:2, 10</a>; but see <span class="abbreviation">Kautzsch</span> in <span class="abbreviation">Herzog</span> edition 2, as referred to under the preceding word), king of Assyria, had sent colonists from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and Sepharvaim into the land of Samaria which he had devastated and depopulated (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">Σαμάρεια</span></span>, 1), those Israelites who had remained in their desolated country (cf. <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/30-6.htm">2 Chronicles 30:6, 10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/34-9.htm">2 Chronicles 34:9</a>) associated and intermarried with these heathen colonists and thus produced a mixed race. When the Jews on their return from exile were preparing to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem, the Samaritans asked to be allowed to bear their part in the common work. On being refused by the Jews, who were unwilling to recognize them as brethren, they not only sent letters to the king of Persia and caused the Jews to be compelled to desist from their undertaking flown to the second year of Darius (Hystaspis) (<DATE_RANGE:520 B.C.>), but also built a temple for themselves on Mount Gerizim, a place held sacred even from the days of Moses (cf. <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/27-12.htm">Deuteronomy 27:12</a>, etc.), and worshipped Jehovah there according to the law of Moses, recognizing only the Pentateuch as sacred. This temple was destroyed <DATE_RANGE:129 B.C.> by John Hyrcanus. Deprived of their temple, the Samaritans have nevertheless continued to worship on their sacred mountain quite down to the present time, although their numbers are reduced to some forty or fifty families. Hence, it came to pass that the Samaritans and the Jews entertained inveterate and unappeasable enmity toward each other. Samaritans are mentioned in the following N. T. passages: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-5.htm">Matthew 10:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-52.htm">Luke 9:52</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-33.htm">Luke 10:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-16.htm">Luke 17:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/4-9.htm">John 4:9</a> (here <span class="manuref">T</span> omits; <span class="manuref">WH</span> brackets the clause), <a href="/interlinear/john/4-39.htm">John 4:39</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/8-48.htm">John 8:48</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-25.htm">Acts 8:25</a>.
