31 The one who comes from above(A) is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth.(B) The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard,(C) but no one accepts his testimony.(D) 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent(E) speaks the words of God, for God[a] gives the Spirit(F) without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.(G) 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,(H) but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman

Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(I) although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea(J) and went back once more to Galilee.

Now he had to go through Samaria.(K) So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(L) Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

  1. John 3:34 Greek he

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

And he must needs go through Samaria.

Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
