João 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.

João 4:13 In-Context

11 Disse a mulher: “O senhor não tem com que tirar água, e o poço é fundo. Onde pode conseguir essa água viva?
12 Acaso o senhor é maior do que o nosso pai Jacó, que nos deu o poço, do qual ele mesmo bebeu, bem como seus filhos e seu gado?”
13 Jesus respondeu: “Quem beber desta água terá sede outra vez,
14 mas quem beber da água que eu lhe der nunca mais terá sede. Ao contrário, a água que eu lhe der se tornará nele uma fonte de água a jorrar para a vida eterna”.
15 A mulher lhe disse: “Senhor, dê-me dessa água, para que eu não tenha mais sede, nem precise voltar aqui para tirar água”.
