1. When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,
2. (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)
3. he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
4. and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.
5. He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;
6. and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;
7. there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;'
8. for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;
