John 4:1–9
1Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John↗
2(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),↗
3he left Judea and departed into Galilee.↗
4He needed to pass through Samaria.↗
5So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.↗
6Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.↗
7A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,“Give me a drink.”↗
8For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.↗
9The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)↗
