John 4:30 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:30

Then they went out of the city
"The men", as the Syriac version expresses it; the inhabitants of Sychar left their business, and came out of the city:

and came unto him;
to Christ, to see him, and converse with him, that they might know who he was: for though the woman had been a woman of ill fame, yet such was the account that she gave of Christ, and such power went along with her words, that what with the strangeness of the relation, and the curiosity with which they were led, and chiefly through the efficacy of divine grace, at least in many of them, they were moved to regard what she said, and to follow her directions and solicitations.
