“For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.”
The woman said, 'Sir, I can see that you are a prophet.' — her recognition of Jesus as a prophet represents the first stage of belief. In John's framework, seeing Jesus as a prophet is preliminary to seeing him as Messiah and Son of God. The woman's acknowledgment that he is a prophet shows the Spirit's work of conviction regarding sin and truth.
