2. although Jesus’ disciples were baptizing, not Jesus himself).

4. Jesus had to go through Samaria.
5. He came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, which was near the land Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6. Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey, so he sat down at the well. It was about noon.
7. A Samaritan woman came to the well to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."
8. His disciples had gone into the city to buy him some food.
