Commentary on John 4:12
Theological / DevotionalArt thou greater? The word “thou” is emphatic. Whom does Jesus make Himself out to be? Compare ch. 8:53.
Our father Jacob. The Samaritans claimed descent from Jacob through Joseph, and looked to Jacob as their “father” in somewhat the same way that the Jews looked to Abraham (see ch. 8:33). The spot where Jesus and the woman stood had been assigned to the descendants of Joseph (Joshua 24:32).
