John 4:1-5 ▼

1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was winning and baptizing more disciples than John

2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),

3 he left Judea and set out once more for Galilee.

4 But he had to pass through Samaria.

5 Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
