Jesus’ Ministry in Samaria intro
We can’t be certain how long Jesus stayed in Judea during this first phase of His public ministry. We know it began in the spring, during the feast of Passover. In the account of the woman at the well, Jesus states that the harvest was four months away. This may mean that Jesus went through Samaria during the winter time, four months prior to the spring harvest. Therefore, Jesus may have spent several months in Jerusalem and the Judean countryside. The time came, however, for Jesus to return north to Galilee. He would do so by passing through the middle region of Samaria where He would carry on a brief ministry connected with a woman in the Samaritan town of Sycharf
