Living Water
John 4:10–15 NKJV
The text
10Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 11The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?” 13Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” 15The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
Context
“Living water” in ordinary speech meant fresh, flowing water — a spring, not a cistern. The woman hears the phrase at ground level: a better well, no more noon walks. Jesus is speaking of Himself, and of the life He gives, which John’s Gospel later names as the Spirit (John 7:37–39). Jacob’s well is deep; the gift is deeper.
