John 4:3-31 ESV

Geneva Study Bible - John 4:10

4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest {d} the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee {e} living water.(d) By this word "the" we are shown that Christ speaks of some excellent gift, that is to say, even about himself, whom his Father offered to this woman.(e) This everlasting water, that is to say, the exceeding love of God, is called "living" or "of life", to make a difference between it and... read more

Geneva Study Bible - John 4:20

4:20 {3} Our fathers worshipped in this {f} mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.(3) All the religion of superstitious people stands for the most part upon two pillars, but very weak, that is to say, upon the perverted examples of the fathers, and a foolish opinion of outward things: and to refute such errors we have to turn to the word and nature of God.(f) The name of this mountain is Gerizim, upon which Sanabaletta the Cuthite built a temple with... read more

Geneva Study Bible - John 4:23

4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in {g} spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.(g) This word "spirit" is to be taken here as it is set against that commandment which is called carnal in Hebrews 7:16 , as the commandment is considered in itself: and so he speaks of "truth" not as we set it against a lie, but as we take it in respect of the outward ceremonies of the law, which only shadowed that which Christ indeed... read more

Geneva Study Bible - John 4:24

4:24 God [is] a {h} Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.(h) By the word "spirit" he means the nature of the Godhead, and not the third person in the Trinity. 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

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 4:1-3

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (2) (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) (3) He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. I pause at these verses, just to remark what appears to me highly proper to be noticed. Jesus himself baptized not. Was it not, (I ask the question, but do not decide,) because that this was the peculiar office of God the Holy Ghost? Had Christ baptized, surely it would not... 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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 4:5

This is what Jacob gave to his son Joseph, when calling him to him just before he died, he said: (Genesis xlviii. ver. 22.) I give thee a portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorrhite, with my sword and bow. (Theophylactus) --- It was thirty-six miles from Jerusalem, and the same place as Sichem, (Genesis xxxiv.) the capital of Samaria, now called Neplosa. read more
