John 4:1-7 ▼

1 AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John

2 (though Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),

3 he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

4 Now he must necessarily pass through Samaria.

5 Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sichar, near the spot of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 And Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e'en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
