Jesus awed a woman with his authority and power after a short conversation. She was so excited about what she was hearing she ran off to get her friends, forgetting her water jar at the well.
That's when John writes, "Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, 'He told me al that I ever did'" (Jn 4:39 ESV) I'm really impressed with her friends. They eagerly believed and were excited with her excitement. They didn't doubt, question or act skeptical.
Note that they weren't blind believers. "So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, 'It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.'" (Jn 4:40-42 ESV)
I need to be believing and not a doubter (Jn 20:24-29)
