2. (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
3. he left Judaea and departed again into Galilee.
4. And it was necessary that he go through Samaria.
5. Then he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6. Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well; and it was about the sixth hour.
7. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
8. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
