Yochanan 4:1-7 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Therefore when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach knew that the Perushim heard that he makes more talmidim and administers the tevilah of teshuva to more talmidim than Yochanan,

2. Although Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself did not personally administer the mikveh mayim's tevilah--this was administered by his talmidim,

3. Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach left the land of Yehudah and departed again into the Galil.

4. And it was necessary for him to pass through Shomron.

5. Therefore, he comes into a city of Shomron being called Sh'khem near the field which Ya'akov Avinu had given to Yosef Ben Ya'akov. [Gn 33:19; 48:22; Josh 24:32]

6. Now a be'er (well) of Ya'akov was there. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having become weary from his journey was sitting there at the be'er. The sha'ah (hour, time) was about hashishit (the sixth, noon).

7. An isha of Shomron comes to draw mayim. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to her, Give me a drink.
