1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
