ヨハネの福音書 4:17 JCB

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - John 4:1-54

Our Lord in Work and Rest John 4:6 'Jesus being wearied with His journey, sat thus on the well.' He carried His work to the point of weariness, and He rested in readiness for new labour. It was at the noontide of the day, and He was already worn out by His effort. Thus there is authority for Christians exhausting themselves in their service. This is a world of seeking, and He was seeking souls. He sought them as men seek for wealth and power, and never grudged the pains nor spared Himself.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 4:17-26

Chapter 10JESUS DECLARES HIMSELF.“The woman answered and said unto Him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband: for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that Thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe Me, the hour cometh, when... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:1-54

A SAMARITAN WOMAN GIVEN THE WATER OF LIFE (vs.1-26) The Lord now leaves Judea because He knew the Pharisees' thoughts as to His baptizing more disciples than John. Not that the Lord Himself did the baptizing: this was left to His disciples: they could bury the dead, whereas He is the life-giver. No doubt the Pharisees would, in malicious ignorance, contend that He and John were rivals: the Lord would leave them no excuse for evil contentions. He goes to Galilee. Observe here a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 4:1-54

SECOND VISIT TO JUDEA With reference to what occasion, and hence at what period of the year, did this visit take place (John 2:13 )? With what display of Jesus’ authority and power is it associated (John 2:14-17 )? Comparing this with Matthew 21:12-13 , it would seem that this transaction was repeated at the last Passover. In what manner did He refer at this time to His death and resurrection (John 2:18-22 ) ? What great discourse of Jesus is associated with this second visit to Judea (John... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 4:1-54

Joh 4:46-54 "So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 4:4-42

And he must needs go through Samaria. (5) Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. (6) Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. And it was about the sixth hour. (7) There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (8) (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) (9) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 4:4-26

4-26 There was great hatred between the Samaritans and the Jews. Christ's road from Judea to Galilee lay through Samaria. We should not go into places of temptation but when we needs must; and then must not dwell in them, but hasten through them. We have here our Lord Jesus under the common fatigue of travellers. Thus we see that he was truly a man. Toil came in with sin; therefore Christ, having made himself a curse for us, submitted to it. Also, he was a poor man, and went all his journeys on... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 4:1-99

John 4 THE CLOSING PARAGRAPHS of the third chapter spring out of the intermeddling of the Jews in the matter of John’s baptism, and his reaction to it: this chapter opens with the Lord’s reaction to their interference. John gladly took the place of decreasing that his Master might increase. The Master withdrew Himself to Galilee lest rivalry should be instituted, which would be so hurtful to His servant. Such was His thoughtful care for John. Moreover the Lord himself would have been belittled... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 4:16-18

A disconcerting request: v. 16. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. v. 17. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband; v. 18. for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in that saidst thou truly. Jesus, throughout the conversation, showed the true missionary's skill. He had properly prepared the woman's mind to listen to Him as to one that might have a message... read more
