On hearing that, the woman like left her water-pot and went into city. She became a circumstantial evangelist,having met a prophet extra-ordinaire who told her about her past; the wonderful king, who promised her an indwelling water springing up into everlasting life and also the Messiah that made her to know that the new pattern of worship shall be in spirit and in truth, without her going to either Sychar or Jerusalem.
Then came the masterstroke: the woman informed Jesus that she knew that the Messiah would come and then would tell them all things. But Jesus said,
"I that speak unto thee am he" ( John 4:26).
