Charles Ellicott Commentary John 4:26

"Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he]." — John 4:26 (ASV)

I that speak unto thee.—The announcement is being made. The solution of some of the problems which she connects with the Messianic advent is contained in the very words she has heard.

Am he—i.e., the Messiah. (Compare especially Notes on John 8:24 and John 8:58.)
