Christ is the Greek translation of Messiah. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the one called Christ in the Greek language]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος

Here, he and that one refer to the Messiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [When the Messiah may come, the Messiah]

ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν ἅπαντα

that_‹one› ˱he˲_˓will_be˒_declaring ˱to˲_us all_‹things›

The words declare everything imply all that the people need to know. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [he will tell us all that we need to know]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῖν

˱to˲_us

When the woman said “us,” she was including the people to whom she was speaking, so this would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.
