Commentary on John 4:11
Theological / DevotionalSir. Gr. kurios, “lord,” “sir,” here in the latter sense, as a title of respect. Something in the voice and manner of Jesus impressed the woman, and her nonchalant “thou, being a Jew” (v. 9) now changes to a form of address reflecting respect.
From whence? The woman still thinks that Jesus speaks of literal water. But obviously He does not refer to this well — which was 100 or more feet deep — for He has no equipment for drawing its water.
