John 4:5
Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Wearied. Wearied in body, not in spirit. Yet he often experienced a weariness of spirit; he was acquainted with grief.
Even when he was physically tired, he did not lose focus. How easy it might have been for him to relax by the well and simply enjoy a cup of cold water with a stranger. I’m sure he was refreshed by the drink, but here was an opportunity to minister and, as always, he took advantage of it.
