Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 4:18

"for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly." — John 4:18 (ASV)

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

What an exposure of the life she was living! Jesus laid bare what she and her companion in sin may have thought that no man knew: He whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
