When {1} therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

(1) This balance is to be kept in doing our duty, that neither by fear are we terrified from going forward, and neither by rashness procure or bring dangers upon ourselves.

People's New Testament

4:1-3 Jesus at Sychar

SUMMARY OF JOHN 4:

At Jacob's Well. The Woman of Samaria. The Question of Scared Places. God to Be Worshiped in Spirit. The Samaritans Hear the Lord. Jesus Departs to Galilee. The Nobleman's Son Healed.

When therefore the Lord knew, etc. These verses tell why Jesus ended his ministry in Judea, for the present, and departed into Galilee. The Pharisees were becoming jealous of his increasing influence and the time had not come for an open conflict.

Wesley's Notes

4:1 The Lord knew - Though none informed him of it.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

CHAPTER 4

Joh 4:1-42. Christ and the Woman of Samaria-The Samaritans of Sychar.

1-4. the Lord knew-not by report, but in the sense of Joh 2:25, for which reason He is here styled "the Lord."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

4:1-3 Jesus applied himself more to preaching, which was the more excellent, 1Co 1:17, than to baptism. He would put honour upon his disciples, by employing them to baptize. He teaches us that the benefit of sacraments depends not on the hand that administers them.


Luke 7:13 When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
John 3:22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.
John 3:26 And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him."
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. (NASB ©1995)
