Why does Jesus not simply say `I am God` (to ceaser), `I am the Messiah` (to woman at well)?

Jesus = Messiah
Jesus says he`s the Messiah in John 4. Significant.

God = spirit
Amazing statement that Jesus made in John 4! Obvious now, but incredibly significant.

Assumption of prophet
Jesus could have heard about this Samarian women and knew that she had more than one husband. Jesus could have heard about or seen Nathanial resting under a tree. However, both assumed ''or knew?'' that Jesus didn`t see or hear about them and therefore assume he`s a prophet. Or maybe it`s because both of them were people who chose to have faith in the unseen more.

Jesus` theme of Living Water
He repeatedly refered to himself as something that people can drink. Sounds odd doesn`t it. When he was at the well with the Samarian he said he could give Living Water. This is easier to get your head around. In this case he`s looking to give the `Holy Spirit`.

Rejection
I wonder if Jesus related to the rejected Samarian woman at the water well out of hgis own human ''son of man'' experience of rejection?

Interactions with Others
When was the last time you went to someone alone in a church and introduced yourself and told them that they were welcome? Or ask to sit with them? Or asked their name? Were they Your kind of people If you see someone alone and crying do you offer to help? If someone you would not usually associate with looks your way do you speak or even give a smile?

I think...
I think the Samarian woman left the well still in doubt about Him even though He told her the truth. This is true today as it was yesterday. "Many who have ears do not listen, many who have eyes do not see."

So he came to a city of Samar'ia, called Sy'char, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samar'ia to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar'ia?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly." The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he." Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?" So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" ( John 4:5-29)
