Jesus came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar. He was wearied from his journey and was sitting by a well. His disciples had gone into the city to buy food. A Samaritan Woman comes to draw water from that well. Jesus asked the woman to give him some water to drink. When Jesus informed the woman she was a widow and had five husbands, the surprised woman said to Jesus:
"Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet."
The story now continues in the scanned page below.
Read the response by Jesus to this Samaritan Woman.

Please read the hi-lighted text carefully
and notice the word "he" is in the italics.
Jesus clearly acknowledged and declared to the woman
~He was the Messiah - the Christ~
who was to come as per the Jewish beliefs.
Those who claim otherwise are indeed telling us to understand
that Jesus did speak a LIE before the Samaritan Woman.
In the Verse 24 below, Jesus is repeating the phrase that he had spoken earlier before the Samaritan Woman in John 4: 25-26 that we just examined.
The editors of the Bible have stated within the marginal notes;
"Most auth. (authorities on the Bible) connect this (the text of Verse 24) to
Ex. 3:14 I AM THAT I AM." The Hebrew text of Exodus 3: 14 confirms that the phrase spoken by the God of Moses was "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh" meaning; "I AM THAT I AM". IF, Jesus indeed wanted to convey to his disciples that he was the same "God of Moses" he would have repeated that entire phrase.
This kind of conjecture, deduction or connection is negated, four verses later in Verse 28. Please see the text below. John 8: 28 reads:
"and, I do nothing on My own initiative,
but I speak these things as the Father taught me."
Jesus spoke the truth and acknowledged that
God was his Teacher and he was God's Disciple (student).
