Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

John 4:9-12

_ _ How is it that thou — not altogether refusing, yet wondering at so unusual a request from a Jew, as His dress and dialect would at once discover Him to be, to a Samaritan.

_ _ for, etc. — It is this national antipathy that gives point to the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37), and the thankfulness of the Samaritan leper (Luke 17:16, Luke 17:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 4:4-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 4:9

How dost thou — Her open simplicity appears from her very first words. The Jews have no dealings — None by way of friendship. They would receive no kind of favour from them.
