Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

14But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”15The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
