Biliverti, Plate 56, gives the woman a companion not mentioned in the text. The moment is that of John 4:10, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is asking you to give him some water, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
Doré, Plate 54, has selected a later moment, "Trust me," Jesus replied, "a time is coming when it will not be on this mountain or in Jerusalem that you will worship God the Father."
Hofmann, Plate 55, may have chosen to illustrate the twenty-fourth verse, "God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually, with true insight." (John 4:24.)

THE CALL OF THE FOUR.
Walking by the sea of Galilee one morning, Jesus saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, . . . and two other brethren, James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, with their nets, for they were fishermen. And he called them: "Come ye after me and I will make you fishers of men." These four became his first disciples. (Matt. 4:18-22.)
Zimmermann, Plate 47, has seized upon the moment when Jesus makes that extraordinary statement. Peter and John are nearest Jesus, the other two in the background. "Fishers of men;" the phrase is mysterious; they cannot understand it. Nevertheless, they leave all and follow Him.
