John 4:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 4:12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which have us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Ah, she did not know how infinitely superior Jesus was to Jacob! There could be no comparison between the two. Jesus is the true Father of all Israel, and in that respect he is like to Jacob; but he is immeasurably greater than "father Jacob."
