Jesus, the fruitful bough

Jacob’s blessing to Joseph

Genesis 49:22

New King James Version (NKJV)

22 “Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well;
His branches run over the wall.

Prophesy in Genesis

  • Jesus is the fruitful bough
  • A fruitful bough by a well = John 4:6 ( below )
  • His branches run over the wall = Samaria is a gentile ( Non Jews ). Initially salvation was only for the Jews. Jesus brought Salvation to the world.

John 4:5-6

New King James Version (NKJV)

So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 

Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

John 15:5

New King James Version (NKJV)

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
