OET (OET-LV) Therefore the woman left the waterpot of_her, and she_went_away into the city, and she_is_saying to_the people,

OET (OET-RV) So the woman left her water jar there, and went back into the town where she told the people,

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 4:27–30

The disciples returned to the well and were surprised to find Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman. The woman then left her water jar at the well and hurried to her town to tell the people there about Jesus. Then the people went to the well to meet Jesus.

4:28

Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

Then: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Then is more literally “therefore” or “so.” Here it introduces what the woman did next as a result of her conversation with Jesus.

the woman left her water jar: The woman left her water jar at the well. Perhaps she wanted to hurry, or forgot it, or perhaps she did not want to bring it back again to get water.

The water jar was made of clay that someone baked to become dry and hard. Here are other ways to translate this jar:

water pot

water vessel

went back into the town: The woman went back to the town where she lived. The town’s name was Sychar. See the note on 4:5a.

the people: This refers to the people in Sychar, the town’s people.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˱she˲_˓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 / gendernotations

τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

˱to˲_the people

Here, the men could refer to: (1) the men who lived in the nearby town and would have been working out in the fields at that time. Alternate translation: [to the men of the town] (2) the people who lived in the nearby town. Alternate translation: [to the people of the town]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:1-42 At a historic well in Samaria, Jesus offered himself as living water. Jesus engaged and confronted people with the revelation of God, and they either followed or fell away.
• The Samaritan woman contrasted with Nicodemus at every turn: a woman (not a man), a Samaritan (not a Jew), a sinner (not righteous), and an outcast (not one of Israel’s rabbis). While Nicodemus fell silent and never responded to Jesus’ challenges (3:1-21), this woman acknowledged Jesus as Lord, remained in the light, and exhibited signs of discipleship (see 1:35-51).
