约翰福音 4:6-7 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:6

Now Jacob's well was there; more literally, now there was a spring there, Jacob ' s. The word generally translated "well" is φρέαρ , the representative of ראֵבְּ , puteus ; but πηγή , the word here used, corresponds with ניִעַ , fons. In John 4:11 , John 4:12 the word φρέαρ is used of the same place. To the present day this indubitable site goes by both names. This district abounds in springs ( Deuteronomy 8:7 ), and the digging of this deep well was a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:6-15

The fountain of living water. I. AN EVIDENT PHYSICAL NEED . This chapter connects spiritual truth with one great physical need of men, even as John 6:1-71 . connects spiritual truth with another great need. Both Jesus and the woman were exactly in the position to appreciate the value of water, and the opportunity of getting it easily and freely. Jesus is a thirsty Traveller; the woman is one who has frequent journeys from her home to get the indispensable supply forevery day's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:7

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. The ἐκ τῆς σαμαρείας undoubtedly qualifies the word γυνή , and not ἔρχεται ; therefore the country, not the city, of Samaria is referred to. Besides, that city was at much too great a distance to be the home of this Samaritaness. There were other springs still nearer to the city of Sychar, which the women of the place would frequent. We need not, with Hengstenberg, suppose that, from a religious motive, one of reverence for the... read more

The conversation with the Samaritan woman. I. THE FIRST APPROACH IS MADE ON OUR LORD 'S SIDE . "Give me to drink." 1 . Consider the person addressed. "There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water." 2 . Consider how he seeks to elicit her thought and to gain her soul. He asks a favour. "Give me to drink."

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 4:6

Jacob’s well - This is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It was called “Jacob’s well,” probably, either because it was handed down by tradition that he dug it, or because it was near to the land which he gave to Joseph. There is still a well a few miles to the east of Nablus, which is said by the people there to be the same. Eli Smith, missionary to Syria, stated to me that he had visited this well. It is about 100 feet deep. It is cut through solid rock of limestone. It is now dry, probably... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 4:7

Of Samaria - Not of the “city” of Samaria, for this was at a distance of 8 miles, but a woman who was a Samaritan, and doubtless from the city of Sychar.Give me to drink - This was in the heat of the day, and when Jesus was weary with his journey. The request was also made that it might give him occasion to discourse with her on the subject of religion, and in this instance we have a specimen of the remarkably happy manner in which he could lead on a conversation so as to introduce the subject... read more

John 4:4-6. And he must needs go through Samaria The road from Judea to Galilee lying directly through it. Then cometh he In the progress of his journey; to a city of Samaria, called Sychar The original name of the place was Sichem, or Shechem, but now the Jews called it Sychar, which name they used as a term of reproach, intimating thereby that it was the seat of drunkards, see Isaiah 28:1; near to the parcel of ground that Jacob Having purchased it of the children of Hamor,... read more

John 4:7-8. There cometh At the very juncture of time; a woman of Samaria to draw water The providence of God so ordering it, that she might have an opportunity of hearing the truth, in order to her salvation. Jesus With a view to introduce a discourse which he graciously intended should be the means of her conversion; saith to her, Give me to drink And it is remarkable, that in this one conversation he brought her to that knowledge which the apostles were so long in attaining.
