ACC ~ John 4 v19

NO OTHER WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR JESUS’ KNOWLEDGE

CHRYSOSTOM: The woman is not offended at Christ’s rebuke. She does not leave him and go away—far from it. Her admiration for him is raised: “The woman said to him, ‘Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.’”… “I perceive” means “You appear to me to be a prophet.” And having come to this belief [that Jesus was a prophet], she does not ask any questions relating to life, health or sickness of the body…. She is not troubled about thirst; rather, she is eager to be taught. HOMILIES ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 32.2-3. [1]
