Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

The Samaritan woman calls Jesus Sir in order to show respect or politeness. (See: lord)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
θεωρῶ ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σύ
˱I˲_/am/_perceiving that /a/_prophet are you
The woman uses see to refer to understanding something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I understand that you are a prophet”
4:19 a prophet: Jesus revealed knowledge about the woman (4:16-18) that was inaccessible to the average person (cp. 1:48).
• As the woman’s understanding of Jesus unfolded, her names for him became increasingly well informed. Earlier she recognized him as a Jew (4:9) and called him sir (4:11, 15, 19). Later she thought he might be the Messiah (4:29). Finally, the people of the village recognized him as Savior of the world (4:42). Her growing understanding of Jesus’ identity is a testimony to John’s readers (see 20:31).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
