John 4:13
Read John 4:13 Using Other Translations
What does John 4:13 mean?
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.
