John 4:1-9

1 Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 His road lay through Samaria,
5 and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 "How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
