Yochanan 4:12

12 Surely you are not greater than Ya’akov Avinu who gave the matanah to us of the be’er (well) and drank from it himself as did his banim (sons) and his tzon (flock)?

Yochanan 4:12 In-Context

10 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, If you knew the matanah (gift) of Hashem and who it is saying to you, Give me a drink, [BERESHIS 26:19] you would have asked him and he would have given you Mayim Chayyim (Living Water). [YESHAYAH 44:3; 55:1; YIRMEYAH 2:13; 17:13; ZECHARYAH 14:8].
11 The isha (woman) says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, you have no bucket and the be’er is deep. From where then do you have the Mayim Chayyim? [BERESHIS 21:19]
12 Surely you are not greater than Ya’akov Avinu who gave the matanah to us of the be’er (well) and drank from it himself as did his banim (sons) and his tzon (flock)?
13 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Everyone drinking from this mayim (water) will thirst again,
14 But whoever drinks of the mayim (water) which I will give to him will never thirst again, but the mayim (water) which I will give him will become in him a makor (fountain, TEHILLIM 36:10 [9]) of mayim (water, YESHAYAH 12:3; 58:11) springing up unto Chayyei Olam.
