John 4:1-9

¹Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

²(Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

³He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.

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

⁵So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

⁸For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

⁹The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.
