4:1 Now when Jesus 1 knew that the Pharisees 2 had heard that he 3 was winning 4 and baptizing more disciples than John 4:2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were), 5 4:3 he left Judea and set out once more for Galilee. 6
4:4 But he had 7 to pass through Samaria. 8 4:5 Now he came to a Samaritan town 9 called Sychar, 10 near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 11 4:6 Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside 12 the well. It was about noon. 13
4:7 A Samaritan woman 14 came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water 15 to drink.” 4:8 (For his disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies. 16 ) 17 4:9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you – a Jew 18 – ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water 19 to drink?” (For Jews use nothing in common 20 with Samaritans.) 21
