Jesus talks with a woman of Samaria, and reveals his identity to her.27. His disciples marvel. 31. He declares to them his zeal for God's glory. 39. Many Samaritans believe on him. 43. He departs into Galilee, and heals the ruler's son that lay sick at Capernaum. Jesus answered The phrase "Jesus answered" indicates a direct response from Jesus, emphasizing His willingness to engage personally and directly with individuals. In the Greek, "Jesus" is "Ἰησοῦς" (Iēsous), which is the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." This highlights the salvific role of Jesus in the narrative. The word "answered" (ἀπεκρίθη, apekrithē) suggests a thoughtful and intentional reply, underscoring the importance of the revelation He is about to make. I who speak to you am He Am he--i.e., the Messiah. (Comp. especially Notes on John 8:24; John 8:58.) Verse 26. - Jesus saith unto her, I that am talking with thee am he. Jesus does utter to the Samaritan woman the truth about himself which he withholds from the sensuous Galilaeans and the carping scribes. Throughout she is susceptible, inquiring, anxious for her own sake to know. The idea she entertained about Messiah would put no obstacle in the way of our Lord's admission, whereas the opposite idea, the passionate longing for a political revolution, led him to silence others, and even among his disciples to reserve the sublime fact as their sacred secret (cf. Matthew 8:4; Matthew 16:20; Matthew 17:9; Mark 8:30). The truth communicated to this woman was of supreme importance and of universal interest. Our Lord admitted his Messiahship, but of the deeper truths of his incarnation, of the nature of the birth from above, of the Divine life and love, of the means of redemption, and the principles of judgment, he says nothing. Nicodemus learns of both "earthly and heavenly things;" the Samaritaness receives some practical principles. Yet the two conversations are complementary to each other, and throw upon each other reciprocally floods of light. Moreover, there is the same parabolic speech in both; the same habit of mind. It is the same Teacher who uses "the wind" and "the water of the well" to illustrate great spiritual ideas.Parallel Commentaries ...
