Giovanni 4:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:13

Jesus answered and said unto her
In a mild and gentle manner, patiently bearing all her scoffs and flouts, and continuing to instruct and inform her, concerning this living water, showing the preferableness of it to all others:

whosoever drinketh of this water;
meaning in that well called Jacob's well, or any other common water:

shall thirst again;
as this woman had often done, and would again, as she herself knew, ( John 4:15 ) , and as Jesus did, who very likely afterwards drank of it, ( John 19:28 ) . For though water allays heat, quenches thirst, and refreshes and revives the spirits for a while, yet in process of time, natural heat increases, and thirst returns, and there is a necessity of drinking water again.

Giovanni 4:13 In-Context

11 La donna gli disse: Signore, tu non hai pure alcun vaso da attingere, ed il pozzo è profondo: onde adunque hai quell’acqua viva?
12 Sei tu maggiore di Giacobbe, nostro padre, il qual ci diede questo pozzo, ed egli stesso ne bevve, e i suoi figliuoli, e il suo bestiame?
13 Gesù rispose, e le disse: Chiunque beve di quest’acqua, avrà ancor sete;
14 ma, chi berrà dell’acqua ch’io gli darò, non avrà giammai in eterno sete; anzi, l’acqua ch’io gli darò diverrà in lui una fonte d’acqua saliente in vita eterna.
15 La donna gli disse: Signore, dammi cotest’acqua, acciocchè io non abbia più sete, e non venga più qua ad attingerne.
