E.g.
The narrative now shifts back to the woman's response. It is unclear just how much she has grasped what Jesus is saying. Guthrie asserts that she found herself out of her depth and overly self-conscious, thus diverting the issue to another time. Her use of “Messiah” (Messias, Μεσσίας) may have been out of respect for her new acquaintance. John inserts a parenthetical translation for his audience (cf. 1:38, 41), showing knowledge of the underlying Semitic word.1 But she must have comprehended some messianic connotations since her use of “he” (ekeinos, ἐκεινος) is emphatic. As noted earlier, the Samaritans certainly had a concept of the Messiah (the Taheb) who was expected to come, teach and explain “all things” (hapanta, ἁπαντα) regarding ultimate truth.
