John 4

Jesus travels through Samaria and speaks with a woman at Jacob’s well, offering living water and revealing Himself as Messiah. He teaches that true worship is in spirit and truth, and many Samaritans believe because of His word. Back in Galilee, He heals a nobleman’s son from a distance, and the man believes the word Jesus speaks.
