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

John 4:10-12. Jesus answered And in his answer shows her that he was not under the power of such common prejudices; If thou knewest the gift of God Which he is now bestowing on mankind by his Son; meaning the Holy Spirit and its fruits, styled, as here, δωρεα του Θεου , the gift of God, Acts 8:20, and η δωρεα , the gift, Acts 11:17; and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink How great a person he is who is now conversing with thee. Instead of scrupling to grant him so... read more

John 4:13-15. Jesus said, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again How much soever this water may be esteemed, and though it may refresh the body, and allay its thirst for a little while, yet the appetite will soon return, even if it be drunk ever so plentifully. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him Will find it so reviving and satisfying to his soul; that he will never thirst Be without refreshment, dissatisfied, or unhappy; that is, provided he continue... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 4:16-18

John 4:16-18. Jesus saith, Go call thy husband What Christ had said to her concerning his grace and eternal life, he found had made little impression upon her, because she had not been convinced of sin; therefore, waiving the discourse about the living water, he sets himself to awaken her conscience, and proceeds to open the wounds of her depravity and guilt, that she might better understand, and more readily receive, the remedy provided by grace. The woman Conscious of the sinfulness... read more

John 4:19-20. The woman saith, Sir, I perceive thou art a prophet “To find a person who was a perfect stranger, and who, on account of the national animosity, could not be suspected of having any intercourse with her townsmen, or with the Samaritans in general, discovering, nevertheless, the most secret particulars of her life, made so sensible an impression on her mind, that she could not but confess such a degree of knowledge more than natural; and consequently, that the person possessed... 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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 4:1-42

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
