John 4:28-29. The woman then left her water-pot, &c.— When the woman heard Jesus call himself the Messiah, she set down her pitcher, and ran into the city, where she published the news in the streets, and desired all she met to go with her, and see him, assuring them that he had told her the principal occurrences of her life; so strong an impression had that circumstance made upon her mind. The fulness of her conviction, and the haste she was in to communicate the joyful news to her... read more

John 4:31-34. In the mean while his disciples prayed him,— While these things were doing, the disciples set the meat which they had bought, before their Master; but he regarded it not, though he then stood much in need of refreshment. He was wholly intent on the duties of his mission, preferring them to his necessary food. Hence, when his disciples entreated him to eat, he told them, that he had meat to eat which they knew nothing of; meaning the satisfaction that he was about to receive from... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:35
John 4:35. Say not ye, There are yet four months, &c.— Whitby, Grotius, and many others, understand this as if our Lord had said, "It is a proverbial expression for the encouragement of husbandmen, that there are but four months between seed-time and harvest." The author of the translation of 1729 renders it, "You commonly say, The other four months, and the harvest will come." And indeed the passage itself is an iambic verse, and should be read thus: u917?τι τετραμηνον, κ ο θερισμος... read more

John 4:36-38. And he that reapeth, &c.— As the disciples laboured together with our Lord in this spiritual harvest,—to encourage them, he put them in mind of the reward. The passage should be read as follows: "He that reapeth and gathereth the fruit [of souls] unto life eternal; he that conducts others into heaven (alluding to the gathering of reaped corn into barns) such a person—receiveth wages; that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together; namely, in the reward... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 4:24
21-24. Woman, c.—Here are three weighty pieces of information: (1) The point raised will very soon cease to be of any moment, for a total change of dispensation is about to come over the Church. (2) The Samaritans are wrong, not only as to the place, but the whole grounds and nature of their worship, while in all these respects the truth lies with the Jews. (3) As God is a Spirit, so He both invites and demands a spiritual worship, and already all is in preparation for a spiritual economy, more... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 4:25
25, 26. I know Messias cometh . . . when He is come, &c.—If we take our Lord's immediate disclosure of Himself, in answer to this, as the proper key to its meaning to His ear, we can hardly doubt that the woman was already all but prepared for even this startling announcement, which indeed she seems (from :-) to have already begun to suspect by His revealing her to herself. Thus quickly, under so matchless a Teacher, was she brought up from her sunken condition to a frame of mind and heart... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 4:26
26. I that speak . . . am he—He scarce ever said anything like this to His own people, the Jews. He had magnified them to the woman, and yet to themselves He is to the last far more reserved than to her—proving rather than plainly telling them He was the Christ. But what would not have been safe among them was safe enough with her, whose simplicity at this stage of the conversation appears from the sequel to have become perfect. What now will the woman say? We listen, the scene has changed, a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:26
John 4:26. I that speak unto thee am he.— That Christ was very cautious of acknowledging himself to be the promised Messiah, in his conversation with the Jews, is very apparent. The reason for that caution has been frequently explained in this commentary, and is intimated in the foregoing note, together with his reasons for acting otherwise at present. read more
