1 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was winning and baptizing more disciples than John.
2 But in fact Jesus was not baptizing. His disciples were.
3 When the Lord found out about all this, he left Judea. He went back to Galilee again.
4 Jesus had to go through Samaria.
5 He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar. It was near the piece of land Jacob had given his son Joseph.
6 Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired from the journey. So he sat down by the well. It was about noon.
