Discovery BoxJohn 4:22 
Context4:22 You people 1 worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews. 2
John 4:42
Context4:42 They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one 3 really is the Savior of the world.” 4
1 tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to indicate that the Greek verb translated “worship” is second person plural and thus refers to more than the woman alone.
2 tn Or “from the Judeans.” See the note on “Jew” in v. 9.
3 tn Or “this.” The Greek pronoun can mean either “this one” or “this” (BDAG 740 s.v. οὗτος 1).
4 sn There is irony in the Samaritans’ declaration that Jesus was really the Savior of the world, an irony foreshadowed in the prologue to the Fourth Gospel (1:11): “He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.” Yet the Samaritans welcomed Jesus and proclaimed him to be not the Jewish Messiah only, but the Savior of the world.
