John 4:2

1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3 He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4 Now He had to pass through Samaria.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
