(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Sir (Kurie). Not yet “Lord” for her. See Joh 4:11.

This water (touto to hudōr). This peculiar kind of water. She did not grasp the last phrase “unto life eternal,” and speaks half ironically of “this water.”

That I thirst not (hina mē dipsō). Final clause with hina, alluding to the words of Jesus, water that will prevent thirst.

Neither come (mēde dierchōmai). Carrying on the negative purpose with present middle subjunctive, “nor keep on coming” as she has to do once or twice every day. She is evidently puzzled and yet attracted.
