John 4:12 in Context — John 4
10 Jésus lui répondit: Si tu connaissais le don de Dieu et qui est celui qui te dit: Donne-moi à boire! Tu lui aurais toi-même demandé à boire, et il t’aurait donné de l’eau vive.
11 Seigneur, lui dit la femme, tu n’as rien pour puiser, et le puits est profond; d’où aurais-tu donc cette eau vive?
12 Es-tu plus grand que notre père Jacob, qui nous a donné ce puits, et qui en a bu lui-même, ainsi que ses fils et ses troupeaux?
13 Jésus lui répondit: Quiconque boit de cette eau aura encore soif;
14 mais celui qui boira de l’eau que je lui donnerai n’aura jamais soif,et l’eau que je lui donnerai deviendra en lui une source d’eau qui jaillira jusque dans la vie éternelle.
