John 4:1-5 ▼

1 Now when Jesus realized that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John—

2 although it was not Jesus who did the baptizing but his disciples—

3 he left Judea and went back to Galilee.

4 Now it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
