Suffering Begets Sympathy
John 4:1-42
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,…


Jesus Himself being weary was the more able and apt to help this poor Samaritress. He that hath had the toothache will pity those that have it. "We are orphans all," said Queen Elizabeth in her speech to the children at Christ's Hospital, "let me enjoy your prayers, and ye shall be sure of my assistance."

(J. Trapp.)
