In the four Gospels, Sychar (in Greek: Sukha; Vietnamese: Xy-kha; French: Sychar) appears 1 time in Jn 4:5. The town of Sychar is described in the Gospel of John like this: “He [Jesus] came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there” (4:5-6a). Jerome identifies Sychar with Shechem. In fact, in Syriac manuscripts the word “Shechem” is used for “Sychar”, but this identification was probably corrected by a later copyist. Majority of manuscripts wrote “Sychar”. Where exactly are Sychar town?
