So, my joy is
fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease.
He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth is earthly
and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. All
that He has seen and heard He testifies and no one accepts it.
He who has received His testimony has set to his seal that God is true,
for He whom God has sent speaks the words of God because God gives Him
the Spirit without limit. The Father loves the Son and has given all
things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life.
He who does not believe in the Son will not see life but will see the
wrath of God.
4. When the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made
and baptized more disciples than John, though it was not Jesus Himself
who baptized but His disciples, He left Judaea and went back to
Galilee. He needed to go through Samaria. He came to a city of Samaria
called Sychar, near Jacob's well, the parcel of land that Jacob gave to
his son Joseph. Jesus, weary from the journey, sat down on the well. It
was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus
asked her for a drink of water. His disciples had gone into the city to
buy food.
She said to Him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, a
woman of Samaria? The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans? Jesus
said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who asks for a
drink, you would have asked Him for a drink and He would have given you
living water.
