Barnes's John 4:17 Bible Commentary
I have no husband - This was said, evidently, to evade the subject. Perhaps she feared that if she came there with the man that she lived with, the truth might be exposed. It is not improbable that by this time she began to suspect that Jesus was a prophet.
Hast well said - Hast said the truth.
