John 4:2-8

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

³he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

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

⁵So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

⁶The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”

⁸For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
