Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 4:1-3

John 4:1-3. When the Lord knew Without receiving information from any one; how the Pharisees Whose interest in the sanhedrim was very great; had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John To shun the effects of their envy and malice, which were hereby excited; he left Judea After having continued there, it seems, about eight months; and departed again into Galilee His former place of abode, where the influence and power of the council were not so great, and where his... read more

23. Jesus in Samaria (John 4:1-42)When the Pharisees saw the crowds following Jesus they took an increasing interest in him. No doubt they were becoming jealous and soon might become violent. Jesus therefore decided to leave Judea for Galilee (John 4:1-3).As Jesus approached one of the villages of Samaria, he began a conversation with a Samaritan woman whom he met at a well (John 4:4-9). The woman had a similar problem to Nicodemus in that she interpreted Jesus’ words literally instead of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:1-3

John 4:1-3. When therefore the Lord knew, &c.— The Baptist's imprisonment happened while our Lord was in Judea (see Mark 6:17., &c.) where he continued till the fame of his doctrine, disciples, and miracles, reaching Jerusalem, gave umbrage to the Pharisees. These men, claiming it as the privilege of their sect to direct the consciences of the people, were enraged to find numbers of them acknowledging as the Messiah one whose birth and fortune so little suited the notions which they had... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 4:1-3

This sentence provides the background for what follows. Jesus returned to Galilee from Judea, where He had been baptizing with His disciples, because the Pharisees were becoming increasingly aware of His broadening influence among the Jews. He wanted to avoid unnecessary premature conflict with them.This is the first time the writer described Jesus as "the Lord." This was appropriate in view of the superiority of Jesus that both Johns had just established (John 3:28-36). read more

1. The interview with the Samaritan woman 4:1-26There are several connections between this section and the preceding ones that provide continuity. One is the continuation of water as a symbol (cf. John 2:6; John 3:5; John 4:10-15). Another is the continuation of conversation in which Jesus reveals Himself as the fulfillment of what the Old Testament anticipated."Nicodemus was an eminent representative of orthodox Judaism. Now John records an interview Jesus had with one who stood for a class... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:1-54

The Samaritan Woman1-42. Christ in Samaria. The ministry in Samaria is recorded because it is the author’s design to exhibit Christ as the Saviour, not only of Israel, but of the world (John 4:42).The Samaritans were mainly an alien race, descended from the colonists planted in the land by the Assyrians (2 Kings 17:6, 2 Kings 17:24, 2 Kings 17:26, 2 Kings 17:29; Ezra 4:1, Ezra 4:9-10). They boasted, however, of being Israelites, and with some degree of justification, for there was probably a... read more
