John Chapter 4, Verse 26
From BibleWiki
26: λεγει αυτη ο ιησους εγω ειμι ο λαλων σοι
26: Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
26: Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
I that speak unto thee am he. I am the Messiah. This was the first time that he openly professed it. He did not do it yet to the Jews, for it would have excited envy and opposition. But nothing could be apprehended in Samaria; and as the woman seemed reluctant to listen to him as a prophet, and professed her willingness to listen to the Messiah, he openly declared that he was the Christ, that by some means he might save her soul.
