Women at the Well

New Living Translation John 4:4

He had to go through Samaria on the way.

It is God’s providence that Jesus had to pass through Samaria in order to encounter this woman.

New Living Translation John 4:6

Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.

Normally women would draw water early in the morning. However, the fact that this woman came at noontime shows that she is embarrassed and trying to avoid other women due to her shame.

4:1–3. In Greek these verses are one long sentence, introducing the reader to a second long interview by Jesus. The words, When the Lord learned of this (v. 1), are actually the first phrase in Greek in verse 1.

This is a good observation
