ISB ~ John 4 v22

what you do not know:Samaritan religion was an admixture of Israelite faith and pagan idolatry (2 Kings 17:29-34).

• Jesus speaks from the perspective of the OT, which describes idol worship as ignorant worship (Wis 13:1-2, 10-19; Is 44:9-20).

from the Jews:The Messiah was expected to come from the line of King David, who belonged to the royal tribe of Judah (Gen 49:8-12).
