John Chapter 4 verse 29 Holy Bible

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) Is not this the Christ?--Better, is this the Christ? She felt that He was a prophet when His words revealed her past life (John 4:19). She has had the thought of Christ present to her mind when He teaches the nature of true worship (John 4:25). She has heard that He is the Messiah from His own lips (John 4:26); but she does not frame her question so as to expect the answer "Yes:" she states the fact of His knowing the life, known perhaps to many of them, and leaves them to form their own judgment.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek“Come,Δεῦτε (Deute)Verb - Imperative - 2nd Person PluralStrong's 1205: Come hither, come, hither, an exclamatory word.
