Jesus the Messiah, the Anointed-One (John 4:25-26)
John 4 is about the other, outsider, and outcast. Jesus leaves the Pharisees and baptizing activity behind to travel back north through the outcasts’ land (John 4:1-45).
The Samaritan woman makes an Old Testament reference to the Messiah, and Jesus says it is him (John 4:25-26).
