Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptising more disciples than John – although it was not Jesus who was baptising but his disciples – Jesus left Judea and went again into Galilee. It was necessary to go through Samaria. So he came to a Samaritan village, called Sychar, close to the land Jacob gave Joseph, his son. There was Jacob’s well . So Jesus, exhausted from the journey, sat down, as he was, at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.

George Herbert
