John 4 Intro: The Pharisees seek to destroy Jesus -- The woman and the well -- The water of life eternal -- The nobleman's son healed.
1 When therefore the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 They sought more diligently some means that they might put him to death; for many received John as a prophet, but they believed not on Jesus.
3 Now the Lord knew this, though he himself baptized not so many as his disciples;
4 For he suffered them for an example, preferring one another.
5 And he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee,
6 And said unto his disciples, I must needs go through Samaria.
7 Then he cometh to the city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph; the place where Jacob's well was.
8 Now Jesus being weary with his journey, it being about the sixth hour, sat down on the well;
9 And there came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
10 Now his disciples were gone away into the city to buy meat.
