3  betting is usually either for value or as a bluff raise with a slightly  weaker range against someone opening too wide. (this is the polarising  range that is talked about widely in John's workbook... read it again!)
JJ  against this villain is for value, the chances of him being better than  you here are small. He is likely opening almost 50% of his button hands  you are crushing that range. 
With the 4 bet you have to narrow his  range substantially but its such a small 4 bet its probably Ax (part of  his 4 bet bluff range), this is not a nit you are dealing with here.
Because  there is no easy way to play JJ in this situation either 5 bet all in  or call and shove every flop that doesnt have an ace. JJ is 56% against AK you are only behind to 3 hands....
