John 4:1-5

¹Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

²(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

³he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
