John4:8
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy meat .
This is added, lest any should say, How came our Saviour in this discourse with the woman of Samaria? They were travelling upon the Road, and came near to Sichem: Our Lords Disciples were gone to the city to buy some Food for them; in the mean time, our Saviour coming to the Well, called Iacobs Well, sets him down, and this Samaritan-woman cometh to that Well, to draw Water. Our Saviour being thirsty, asks of her some Water to drink; this giveth occasion to the following Discourse.
