4:42 The Samaritans had experienced for themselves that Jesus was true. Their name for Jesus, Savior of the world (also used in 1 Jn 4:14), demonstrated that the Samaritans were keenly aware of their distance from Judaism. Jesus’ ministry was not simply for Jews, but for all people (John 1:4-12; cp. 12:20-26).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἔλεγον
˱they˲_/were/_saying
Here, they refers to the Samaritans from Sychar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the local Samaritans said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
πιστεύομεν & ἀκηκόαμεν & οἴδαμεν
˱we˲_/are/_believing & ˱we˲_/have/_heard & ˱we˲_/have/_known
We throughout this verse refers to the Samaritan townspeople who came to Jesus apart from the Samaritan woman, so the pronoun would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
οὗτός
this
Here, this one refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “this man, Jesus”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
κόσμου
world
Here, world refers to everyone throughout the world who believes in Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “all the believers in the world”
