John 4:5 in context

The verses around it, from John 4.

1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2 (although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3 He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4 Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5 So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6 Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 “You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
