SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–42: Jesus spoke with a woman from Samaria

In this section Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman who had come to get water from a well. Jesus asked her for a drink of water. The woman was surprised that he spoke to her. Jesus was a Jew, and most Jewish people hated the Samaritans. But Jesus stayed and talked with the woman.

Jesus told the woman that he could give her living water, and he told her that he was the Messiah. The women went back to her town and brought many of the other Samaritan people to Jesus.

It is good to translate the section before giving it a title. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus brought good news to the hated Samaritan people

The conversation at the well

Paragraph 4:19–26

The woman next asked Jesus about where people should worship God. The Samaritans said it was right to worship on Mount Gerizim, but the Jews worshiped in Jerusalem. Jesus said that where people worship is not important. It is how they worship that is important.

Jesus also said that the Samaritans really did not know whom they worshiped. The Jewish people knew whom they worshiped, and it was through them that all people will be saved. The woman mentioned the Messiah or Chosen Savior who was coming. Jesus told her that he was the Messiah. This is a very important part of the story.

4:26

Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

I who speak to you am He: Jesus told the woman that he was the Messiah. This is the climax (most important part) of the story. It is important that you make it clear that Jesus was declaring that he was the Messiah. For example:

I am that one…and I am speaking to you now. (CEV)

I AM the Messiah! (NLT)

I, the one speaking to you—I am he. (NIV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ λαλῶν σοι

the_‹one› speaking (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῇ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἐγώ εἰμί ὁ λαλῶν σοί)

Jesus is referring to himself in third person. If this would confuse your readers, you can use the first person form, as in the UST.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:26 I Am the Messiah (Greek reads “I am, the one speaking to you”): Jesus’ phrase was unusual and emphatic, and it suggests identity with God (see 8:58; Exod 3:14).
