THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - PART VI

THE WOMAN AT THE WELL AND THE RETURN TO CANA

I. Jesus' return to Galilee is presented mostly in the context of His discourse on worship and the waters of eternal life in Samaria and His cure of the centurion's son. Both events focus on Jesus' ministry to those outside the Chosen People. The purified and elevated worship of God and the cleansing and healing power of God is now going forth to all the world.

F. Apparently to change the subject, she then asks about the fitting place to worship.

II. Jesus then returns to Galilee, again on a third day. The Gospel connects this miracle to the first one.
