EXPLANATION

Verse 29. The Samaritans looked for the Messias, because they had the books of Moses, in which Jacob foretold the world’s Redeemer: The sceptre shall not depart from Juda, nor a leader from his thigh, until he come that is to be sent. Genesis 49:10. And Moses himself foretold the same: God will raise to thee a prophet of the nations, and of thy brethren. Deuteronomy 18:15. Saint John Chrysostom ex S. Thoma.
