Footnotes
The Samaritan expectation of a coming redeemer differed from the Jewish one: Samaritans awaited a figure known as the Taheb ("the Restorer"), a Moses-like prophet based on Deut. 18:15–18, rather than a Davidic king. The Greek Μεσσίας (Messias) is a direct transliteration of Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mashiach, "Anointed One"). John's parenthetical gloss "the one called Christ" shows the Greek equivalent for Gentile readers. The FOG preserves the Hebrew term; the FOG Message uses the familiar English "Messiah/Christ."
