Exegesis
The dative pronoun autē {αὐτῇ | au-tê} marks the indirect object “to her,” linking the narrative frame to the Samaritan woman addressed by the vocative gynai {γύναι | gý-nai}, which in this context functions as a respectful form of address rather than a rebuke.
In context — John 4:21
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father .”
