He stayed there for two days, and 41 many more came to believe on the strength of the words he spoke to them; 42 and they said to the woman, \u2018We believe no longer because of what you told us; we have heard for ourselves and we know that this is truly the Saviour of the world.\u2019 Jesus in Galilee 43 When the two days were over, Jesus left there for Galilee, 44 for Jesus himself had borne witness that a prophet is not honoured in his own country. 45 On his arrival the Galileans received him well, 5 having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the festival, for they too had attended the festival.","canonical_url":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701","robots":"max-image-preview:large","keywords":"","webmasterTools":{"miscellaneous":""},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#blogposting","name":"Lectio Reflection \u2013 Third Sunday of Lent \u2013 John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026) - Lectio Divina","headline":"Lectio Reflection &#8211; Third Sunday of Lent &#8211; John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026)","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?author=1#author"},"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/#organization"},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3.jpg","width":1280,"height":720},"datePublished":"2026-03-01T23:27:41+00:00","dateModified":"2026-03-01T23:27:41+00:00","inLanguage":"en-AU","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#webpage"},"isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#webpage"},"articleSection":"Lectio Divina Videos, ancient wisdom, contemplative prayer, enlightenment, guided meditation, inner peace, introspection, Lectio Divina, lectio divina for beginners, life transformation, meditation guide, meditation mastery, meditation tips, mindfulness, mindfulness meditation, mindfulness practices, mindfulness techniques, personal development, reflect and transform, reflective living, sacred reading, self-discovery, self-help, soulful journey, soulful living, spiritual awakening, spiritual growth, spiritual guide, spiritual insights, spiritual practice, spiritual reflection, transformative journey"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#breadcrumblist","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au#listItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au","nextItem":{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?cat=9#listItem","name":"Lectio Divina Videos"}},{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?cat=9#listItem","position":2,"name":"Lectio Divina Videos","item":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?cat=9","nextItem":{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#listItem","name":"Lectio Reflection &#8211; Third Sunday of Lent &#8211; John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026)"},"previousItem":{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au#listItem","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#listItem","position":3,"name":"Lectio Reflection &#8211; Third Sunday of Lent &#8211; John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026)","previousItem":{"@type":"ListItem","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?cat=9#listItem","name":"Lectio Divina Videos"}}]},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/#organization","name":"lectiodivina.com.au","description":"Experience the Living Word with Bishop David Walker","url":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-computer-icon.png","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701\/#organizationLogo","width":1600,"height":1600},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701\/#organizationLogo"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCty1gKh42HUbpi_aw4tgr_g"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?author=1#author","url":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?author=1","name":"Lectio Divina","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#authorImage","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/08df66e3cbe31a8734ef72de9cadc191c5b8227dba3761c8757a191ffe5fd4ac?s=96&d=mm&r=g","width":96,"height":96,"caption":"Lectio Divina"}},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701#webpage","url":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701","name":"Lectio Reflection \u2013 Third Sunday of Lent \u2013 John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026) - Lectio Divina","description":"The gospel today of how Jesus dialogues with the woman at the Samaritan well is really about the fact that God is not to be worshiped in places or temples but in the hearts of people who are imitating God in spirit.

He stayed there for two days, and 41 many more came to believe on the strength of the words he spoke to them; 42 and they said to the woman, \u2018We believe no longer because of what you told us; we have heard for ourselves and we know that this is truly the Saviour of the world.\u2019 Jesus in Galilee 43 When the two days were over, Jesus left there for Galilee, 44 for Jesus himself had borne witness that a prophet is not honoured in his own country. 45 On his arrival the Galileans received him well, 5 having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the festival, for they too had attended the festival.","twitter:image":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3.jpg"},"aioseo_meta_data":{"post_id":"28701","title":null,"description":null,"keywords":null,"keyphrases":null,"primary_term":null,"canonical_url":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_object_type":"default","og_image_type":"default","og_image_url":null,"og_image_width":null,"og_image_height":null,"og_image_custom_url":null,"og_image_custom_fields":null,"og_video":null,"og_custom_url":null,"og_article_section":null,"og_article_tags":null,"twitter_use_og":false,"twitter_card":"default","twitter_image_type":"default","twitter_image_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_fields":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"schema":{"blockGraphs":[],"customGraphs":[],"default":{"data":{"Article":[],"Course":[],"Dataset":[],"FAQPage":[],"Movie":[],"Person":[],"Product":[],"ProductReview":[],"Car":[],"Recipe":[],"Service":[],"SoftwareApplication":[],"WebPage":[]},"graphName":"","isEnabled":true},"graphs":[]},"schema_type":"default","schema_type_options":null,"pillar_content":false,"robots_default":true,"robots_noindex":false,"robots_noarchive":false,"robots_nosnippet":false,"robots_nofollow":false,"robots_noimageindex":false,"robots_noodp":false,"robots_notranslate":false,"robots_max_snippet":null,"robots_max_videopreview":null,"robots_max_imagepreview":"large","priority":null,"frequency":null,"local_seo":null,"breadcrumb_settings":null,"limit_modified_date":false,"ai":null,"created":"2026-03-01 23:35:50","updated":"2026-03-01 23:35:50","focus_keyword":null,"additional_keywords":null,"truseo_locale":null,"seo_analyzer_scan_date":null},"aioseo_breadcrumb":"<div class=\"aioseo-breadcrumbs\"><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\" title=\"Home\">Home<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?cat=9\" title=\"Lectio Divina Videos\">Lectio Divina Videos<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\tLectio Reflection \u2013 Third Sunday of Lent \u2013 John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026)\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>","aioseo_breadcrumb_json":[{"label":"Home","link":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au"},{"label":"Lectio Divina Videos","link":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?cat=9"},{"label":"Lectio Reflection &#8211; Third Sunday of Lent &#8211; John 4:5-42 (Year A 2026)","link":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?p=28701"}],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3.jpg",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-1024x576.jpg",1024,576,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3.jpg",1280,720,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3.jpg",1280,720,false],"menu-24x24":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-24x14.jpg",24,14,true],"menu-36x36":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-36x20.jpg",36,20,true],"menu-48x48":["https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-3-48x27.jpg",48,27,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Lectio Divina","author_link":"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/?author=1"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The gospel today of how Jesus dialogues with the woman at the Samaritan well is really about the fact that God is not to be worshiped in places or temples but in the hearts of people who are imitating God in spirit.
