2. (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
3. He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.
4. Now it was necessary that He go through Samaria.
5. So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6. Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, therefore, being exhausted from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
