Vietnamese 1994 (Lời Chúa Cho Mọi Người) (Translated by 1 Pastor)
Họ bảo người phụ nữ : Không còn phải vì lời chị kể mà chúng tôi tin. Quả thật, chính chúng tôi đã nghe và biết rằng Người thật là Đấng cứu độ trần gian.
Điều này có nghĩa gì?
In John 4:42, the Samaritans tell a woman that they now believe Jesus is the Christ and Saviour of the world because they heard him for themselves, not just because she told them.

Imagine you had a friend who said there was an amazing new playground in town. You weren't sure at first but then went to see it yourself. Now you know it's great without your friend telling you!
Bối cảnh lịch sử
John wrote this gospel, likely around 90 AD, for a wider audience including non-Jewish Christians. The Samaritans and Jews had a tense relationship; their acceptance of Jesus highlights the universality of his message.

If someone tells you about something great but you're unsure, seek out more information yourself. Just like the Samaritans hearing Jesus directly, your own experience can solidify beliefs or decisions.
