27 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
John 4:27-30
Jesus is the Lord of all. His disciples marveled at and did not question that He spoke with a woman, let alone a Samaritan. Both aspects of who he spoke with were contrary to the culture of this time where men were taught not to converse with women in public.
After the conversation with Jesus, the woman ran back to the city and testified to everyone what just happened. “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” I’d wager the “city” knew all she ever did too, it was not a source of joy and likely why they reacted to her by seeking Jesus.
Consider the sin she had been living in, married 5 times, and now shacking up with another man who was not her husband. She went to the well at noon, in the heat of the day instead of the cool of the morning because she had been shunned by her neighbors and was less likely to run into them at this time.
Now after this single experience face to face with Jesus Christ, she was so drastically transformed by her faith in God that the people who once cast her aside now heeded her words!
