4:26

I who speak to you am He: Jesus told the woman that he was the Messiah. This is the climax (most important part) of the story. It is important that you make it clear that Jesus was declaring that he was the Messiah. For example:

I am that one…and I am speaking to you now. (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
I AM the Messiah! (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
I, the one speaking to you—I am he. (New International Version)
