Hi, friends. I'm Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. And this month, the Let's Read

the Gospels podcast is sponsored by our friends at crew. You can learn more at give.crood.org.

Slash Annie. The Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew,

Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships,

the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles. Each month, we read all four books of the

Gospels. So make sure you're subscribed right and review the show. If you get a chance,

help so much to put in front of people who have never heard it before. And if you've purchased

the Let's Read the Gospels guidebook at any point this year, you should receive the pages

for June in your inbox today. As a reminder, if you'd like the reading plan and some thoughts

about what I've been processing throughout this month's reading, journal prompts, and questions

that help you go deeper. All of those are in the guidebook. And if you haven't purchased it yet,

and you buy it for June, you'll receive the pages from all the previous months, and you'll,

of course, receive the rest of the year as they release. So you'll get January through June

and then through December. You get the entire year's worth of reading plans and resources for

that one-time purchase. You can grab it at anyfdowns.com slash Gospels. Okay, so here's how it's

going to work today. I'll be reading three chapters to you. You can listen or read along in your

own Bible. And then I'll print. And that's it. So today is May 25, day 25. And I'll be reading John

at chapters four through six. And this month, I'm reading from the CSB version.

John four, when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more

disciples than John, though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were. He left

Judea and went again to Galilee. He had to travel through Samaria. So he came to a town of Samaria,

called the car near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph. Jacob's wells were there.
