John 4:12 in Context — John 4
10 Respondió Jesús y díjole: Si conocieses el don de Dios, y quién es el que te dice: Dame de beber: tú pedirías de él, y él te daría agua viva.
11 La mujer le dice: Señor, no tienes con qué sacar[la], y el pozo es hondo: ¿de dónde, pues, tienes el agua viva?
12 ¿Eres tú mayor que nuestro padre Jacob, que nos dió este pozo, del cual él bebió, y sus hijos, y sus ganados?
13 Respondió Jesús y díjole: Cualquiera que bebiere de esta agua, volverá á tener sed;
14 Mas el que bebiere del agua que yo le daré, para siempre no tendrá sed: mas el agua que yo le daré, será en él una fuente de agua que salte para vida eterna.
