John 4:5

Verse 5

The site of Sychar is fairly certain because of unbroken tradition and the presence of a water source (John 4:6). It was very near Old Testament Shechem, Joseph’s burial site, near the base of Mounts Ebal and Gerizim (cf. Genesis 33:19; Genesis 48:22; Joshua 24:32). Today the modern town of Nablus stands nearby. Nablus is the modern form of the name that the site later received in honor of the Roman imperial family, Flavia Neapolis.
