John chapter 4 says that it was “necessary for Jesus to go through Samaria”. Why was it necessary? This was not the usual route‚ but scripture says it was necessary to go thru Samaria. Jesus could have easily chosen to take the most traveled path around the darkness and have a comfortable journey to Galilee.
