Why could Jesus tell the Samaritan woman he was the Messiah, but not the Jews?
|
There was a different expectations of a Messiah for the Jews and the Samaritans. The Samaritans were expecting a prophet like Moses since they only followed the Pentateuch, and the Jews were expecting a warrior king and political figure. Jesus could tell the Samaritan Woman that he was the messiah because all that she expects if he is the Messiah is prophecy and words.

Compare Jesus' ministry to Samaritans with that found to non-Jews in Matthew.
|
John says that Jesus has a two-day ministry among the Samaritans. In Matthew Jesus says that he was sent ONLY to the Jews, but in John Jesus says, it’s time to minister to the Samaritans. The liberal scholars say that this is so different, therefore Matthew must be true and John must be invented. Jesus heals the Canaanite woman's daughter after she gives Him a good answer, and Jesus also ministers to the Roman Centurion. Jesus’ ministry to Non-Jews in Matthew is similar to the two-day ministry that Jesus has to the Samaritans in John. Therefore, John did not invent a portion of his gospel.
