“The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.”
The woman said to him, 'Sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.' — the woman's request, though still on the literal plane, represents an openness to what Jesus offers. Her desire to avoid the labor of drawing water daily may suggest spiritual weariness; Jesus will soon address her actual condition.
