13-14. Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.”
15. The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I won’t ever get thirsty, won’t ever have to come back to this well again!”
16. He said, “Go call your husband and then come back.”
17-18. “I have no husband,” she said.“That’s nicely put: ‘I have no husband.’ You’ve had five husbands, and the man you’re living with now isn’t even your husband. You spoke the truth there, sure enough.”
