John 4 — Context

He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.

And He had to pass through Samaria.

So He *came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, "Give Me a drink."

For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
