Commentary on John 4:25

Theological / Devotional

I know. In the woman’s mind true worship is appropriately linked with thoughts of the coming Messiah. The Samaritans based their Messianic hopes on the prediction of Deut. 18:15, 18. They commonly referred to the Messiah as Taheb, meaning “the returning One,” or “the Restorer.”

Called Christ. This is evidently an explanatory phrase added by John for the benefit of his non-Jewish readers (see on ch. 1:38).
