“Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:”
Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.' — Jesus contrasts temporal satisfaction with permanent spiritual fulfillment. The metaphor of water welling up echoes Isaiah 55 and suggests the Holy Spirit as an internal source of life. The spring becomes part of the person's being, not an external supply requiring repeated return.
