John 4:2 BBE

¹  Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

²  (Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

³  He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.

⁴  And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
