1. Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2. (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),
3. He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.
4. And He had to pass through Samaria.
5. So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;
6. and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."
8. For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9. Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
