Jean 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:15

The woman saith unto him, Sir
(See Gill on John 4:11);

give me this water, that I thirst not.
The Syriac and Persic versions add, "again":

neither come hither;
the Ethiopic version adds here, "again";

to draw.
This she said also, in the same sneering and scoffing way, as her talking of not thirsting and coming thither to draw water, shows; and it is as if she had said, pray give me some of this fine water you talk of, that I may never thirst again; and so have no occasion to be at all this fatigue and trouble, to come daily to this well for water: though some think, that she now spoke seriously, having some little knowledge of what our Lord meant by living water, but with a mixture of much ignorance, and that she heartily desired it; but the reason she gives, shows the contrary.

14 Mais celui qui boira de l'eau que je lui donnerai, n'aura plus jamais soif, mais l'eau que je lui donnerai deviendra en lui une source d'eau qui jaillira pour la vie éternelle.

15 La femme lui dit: Seigneur, donne-moi de cette eau, afin que je n'aie plus soif, et que je ne vienne plus puiser ici.

16 Jésus lui dit: Va, appelle ton mari et viens ici.

17 La femme répondit: Je n'ai point de mari. Jésus lui dit: Tu as fort bien dit: Je n'ai point de mari;
