Giovanni 4:39 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:39

And many of the Samaritans of that city
Of Sychar, which was a city of Samaria;

believed on him;
that he was the true Messiah he had told the woman he was; and she put it to them whether he was or not: before they saw him, or had any conversation with him themselves, they believed in him; see ( John 20:29 ) ;

for the saying of the woman which testified, he told me all that
ever I did:
the account she gave was so plain, and honest, and disinterested, that they could not but give credit to it; and since the person was an utter stranger to her, and yet had laid before her the whole series of her past life and conversation, they concluded he could be no other than the Messiah, who should tell all things; and being of quick understanding or smell, was able to disclose the secrets of men.

Giovanni 4:39 In-Context

37 Poichè in questo quel dire è vero: L’uno semina, l’altro miete.

38 Io vi ho mandati a mieter ciò intorno a che non avete faticato; altri hanno faticato, e voi siete entrati nella lor fatica.

39 Or di quella città molti de’ Samaritani credettero in lui, per le parole della donna che testimoniava: Egli mi ha dette tutte le cose che io ho fatte.

40 Quando adunque i Samaritani furon venuti a lui, lo pregarono di dimorare presso di loro; ed egli dimorò quivi due giorni.

41 E più assai credettero in lui per la sua parola.
