The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. If we take our Lord's immediate disclosure of Himself, in answer to these words, as the proper key to their meaning to His ear, we can hardly doubt that the woman was already all but prepared for even this startling announcement, which indeed she seems (from John 4:29) to have already begun to suspect by His revealing her to herself. Thus quickly, under so matchless a Teacher, was she brought up from her sunken condition to a frame of mind and heart capable of receiving the noblest revelations. When she says of the expected Messiah, that He would "tell them all things," this belief was probably founded on Deuteronomy 18:15.
