John 4:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Jesus ·said [answered; replied], “If you only knew the ·free gift [^Lgift] of God and who it is that is asking you ·for water [^L“Give me a drink”], you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” [^C“Living water” in Greek can mean fresh running water, but Jesus means “water which gives eternal life”; the woman misunderstands this play on words.]

¹¹ The woman said, “Sir, where will you get this living water? The well is very deep, and you have ·nothing to get water with [^Lno bucket]. ¹² Are you greater than Jacob, our father [^Ca patriarch recognized by both Jews and Samaritans], who gave us this well and drank from it himself along with his sons and ·flocks [or livestock]?”
