Albert Barnes Commentary John 4:28

"So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people," — John 4:28 (ASV)

Left her water-pot. Her mind was greatly excited. She was disturbed, and hastened to the city in great agitation to make this known. She seems to have been convinced that he was the Messiah, and went immediately to make it known to others. Our first business, when we have found the Saviour, should be to make him known also to others.
