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 didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
3. he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
4. He needed 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. Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7. A woman of Samaria came 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. The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
