John 4:15

Give me this water. Dimly aware at last of what Jesus has to offer her, the woman responds eagerly to the promises of v. 14, that if she drinks of the “living water,” she will “never thirst” and will indeed receive “everlasting life.” However, she still links the offer of “living water” with literal water, thinking that once she has obtained the “living water” she will no longer need to make the daily trip to Jacob’s Well. Perhaps she thinks that the “living water” is for herself alone, and that she will still need to draw water for her “husband” (see v. 16). But, as Jesus hastens to explain, this “living water” concerns her husband as well as herself.
