John 4:17-19

4:17 The woman replied, 1  “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Right you are when you said, 2  ‘I have no husband,’ 3  4:18 for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with 4  now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”

4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see 5  that you are a prophet.

1 tn Grk “answered and said to him.”

2 tn Grk “Well have you said.”

3 tn The word order in Jesus’ reply is reversed from the woman’s original statement. The word “husband” in Jesus’ reply is placed in an emphatic position.

4 tn Grk “the one you have.”

5 tn Grk “behold” or “perceive,” but these are not as common in contemporary English usage.
