John 4:1 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 4:1

Jesus' growing influence was attracting notice from the Pharisees. This would eventually lead to conflict. Jesus, knowing this, chose to move.

Memory phrase: Jesus knew what the leaders were thinking.

Talk about it: Why do you think the Pharisees were paying close attention to how many followers Jesus had?

Prayer: Jesus, You always know what is happening around me. Help me to trust Your timing and wisdom.
