Notice that Jesus foretells these things so that she will know He is the I AM. That's the entire point.

I agree that the point of any prophecy is to glorify God. The LORD used prophets in the OT and NT to glorify Him, to warn, to exhort, to stir up, to tell forth, to for tell, etc., and all for His glory.

He also doesn't embarrass her or shame her.

Are you implying with this statement that prophets should not inspire shame in a person? Both rebuking sinners in the church openly (embarrassment) and inspiring conviction in the hearer inwardly (Godly sorrow worketh repentance, shame) are examples that were given in the OT and NT. There is no scriptural evidence to infer that He publicly embarrassed her by running and telling her sin, but it was obvious that she was taken aback and ashamed by Him calling out the sin that she had tried to hide in her heart. It's that shame that leads a person to repentance.
