John 4:30
28 Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31 Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
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.
