The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:21

Jesus saith unto her, Woman , £ believe me —a unique expression of Jesus, answering to the ἀμὴν ἀμὴν , of many other passages, where the acknowledgment of his Divine commission had been virtually ceded; this expression is peculiarly suitable to the occasion— that an hour is coming. He does not add, as in John 4:23 , "and now is." The Divine order which links the events of God's providence together, has not made it possible as yet in its fulness, as it will do when the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:21

Worship and holy places. The superstition of the Samaritan woman gave occasion to the utterances by Christ of his sublime revelation regarding the spirituality of worship. There was competition between the Samaritans, who performed their devotions upon the summit of Gerizim, and the Jews, to whom Jerusalem was the holy city and the temple the house of God. Jesus put aside this controversy and rivalry, and passed from it to the enunciation of specially Christian truth. I. THERE IS A... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:21-24

The spirit of the true worship. Our Lord acts a prophet's part in answer to her inquiries. 1. THE UNIVERSALITY OF THE NEW WORSHIP . "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father." 1 . All localized worship was soon to end. 2 . The fatherhood of God emancipates worship from every limitation of time and space. Men will worship God as a Father. The title is characteristic of this Gospel. II.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:22

Ye worship that which (not "him whom") ye know not . "That which" points to the essence and inner character of the object of their worship. They gave him a name, but they were comparatively ignorant of, and confessedly hostile as a people to, the revelation that the Father had made. They fell back on a past of rigid orthodoxy but of limited range. They rejected every portion of the Old Testament with the exception of the Pentateuch, i.e. the entire historical treatment of the primeval... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 4:21

Believe me - As she had professed to believe that he was a prophet, it was right to require her to put faith in what he was about to utter. It also shows the importance of what he was about to say.The hour cometh - The time is coming, or is near.When neither in this mountain ... - Hitherto the public solemn worship of God has been confined to one place. It has been a matter of dispute whether that place should be Jerusalem or Mount Gerizim. That controversy is to be of much less importance than... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 4:22

Ye worship ye know not what - This probably refers to the comparative ignorance and corruption of the Samaritan worship. Though they received the five books of Moses, yet they rejected the prophets, and of course all that the prophets had said respecting the true God. Originally, also, they had joined the worship of idols to that of the true God. See 2 Kings 17:26-34. They had, moreover, no authority for building their temple and conducting public worship by sacrifices there. On all these... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 4:21

John 4:21. Jesus saith to her In answer to this case of conscience; Believe me Our Lord uses this expression only once, and that to a Samaritan. To his own people, the Jews, his usual language is, I say unto you. The hour cometh Which will put an entire end to this controversy; when ye Both Jews and Samaritans; shall neither worship in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem As preferable to any other place: nay, when an end will be put to the worship at both places; and the true worship... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 4:22

John 4:22. Ye worship ye know not what Or rather, as the original words, υμεις προσκυνειτε ο ουκ οιδατε , ye worship what ye know not, that is, ye Samaritans are ignorant, not only of the place, but, in a great measure, also of the very object of worship. They believed indeed, in a sense, in the one living and true God, as the Jews did; drawing their knowledge of him from the five books of Moses, the authority of which they acknowledged. But as they did not receive the writings of the... read more
