Daily Discovery Bible Study

1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees had discovered that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,2 (although it wasn't Jesus who was baptizing, but his disciples),3 he left Judea and returned to Galilee.4 On the way he had to pass through Samaria.5 So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.

7 A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”8 for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.
