John 4:1-9

1 WhenG5613 JesusG2424 realizedG1097 thatG3754 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 were awareG191 He 1 was gainingG4160 andG2532 baptizingG907 moreG4119 disciplesG3101 thanG2228 JohnG2491 2(althoughG2544 it was notG3756 JesusG2424 whoG846 baptizedG907, butG235 HisG846 disciplesG3101), 3He leftG863 JudeaG2449 andG2532 returnedG565 G3825 toG1519 GalileeG1056.

4NowG1161 HeG846 hadG1163 to passG1330 throughG1223 SamariaG4540. 5SoG3767 He cameG2064 toG1519 a townG4172 of SamariaG4540 calledG3004 SycharG4965, nearG4139 theG3588 plot of groundG5564 thatG3739 JacobG2384 had givenG1325 toG3588 hisG846 sonG5207 JosephG2501. 6SinceG1161 Jacob’sG2384 wellG4077 wasG1510 thereG1563 , JesusG2424, wearyG2872 fromG1537 His journeyG3597 , sat downG2516 byG1909 theG3588 wellG4077. It wasG1510 aboutG5613 the sixthG1623 hourG5610.2

7When a SamaritanG1537 G3588 G4540 womanG1135 cameG2064 to drawG501 waterG5204 , JesusG2424 saidG3004 to herG846, “GiveG1325 MeG1473 a drinkG4095.” 8 (HisG846 disciplesG3101 had goneG565 intoG1519 theG3588 townG4172 toG2443 buyG59 foodG5160.)

9“You areG1510 a JewG2453 ,” saidG3004 theG3588 womanG1135 . “HowG4459 can YouG4771 ask forG154 a drinkG4095 fromG3844 meG1473 , a SamaritanG4542 womanG1135?” (ForG1063 JewsG2453 do not associateG3756 G4798 with SamaritansG4541.)3
