John 4:1-7 ▼

1 When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John,

2 (though not Jesus himself, but his disciples immersed,)

3 he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

4 And it was necessary that he should go through Samaria.

5 He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 And Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. And Jesus said to her: Give me to drink.
