Exegesis
The indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} ‘to him’ precedes the explicit subject hē gynē {ἡ γυνή | hē gynḗ} ‘the woman,’ so the Greek moves from the act of speaking, to its recipient, and then to the speaker, a pattern that foregrounds the interaction with Jesus before identifying her.
Root and etymology
prophēmipro-phē-mí
“before, in front of”
In context — John 4:19
The woman said to Him , “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet .”
