1. When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2. (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
3. he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4. And he must needs pass through Samaria.
5. So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6. and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8. For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
