“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
The woman said, 'I know that Messiah' (called Christ) 'is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.' — the woman's statement of Messianic hope shows Samaritan expectation of a deliverer. The promise that he will explain everything (anangello) anticipates Jesus' function as revealer. Her words move from personal recognition (you are a prophet) toward eschatological hope.
