John 4:1-9

1So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

2(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

3He left Judea and returned again to Galilee.

4Now He had to go through Samaria.

5So He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

6and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (noon).

7Then a woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink”—

8For His disciples had gone off into the city to buy food—

9The Samaritan woman asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)
