Why Does John 4 Follow John 3?

Keywords

scriptural study, Nicodemus, Samaritan woman

Abstract

The scriptures are endlessly fascinating and instructive.

When we approach them with great questions and open hearts and minds to learn, the scriptures will continuously feed and encourage us.

Let’s take for example the case of John 3 and John 4.

Most of us are familiar with the story in John 3 of Nicodemus coming to Jesus to hear that only those who are born again can see the kingdom of God.

And most of us are familiar with the story in John 4 of Jesus seeking out the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob to teach her and to instruct her.
