John 4:12 in Context — John 4
10 Respondeu Jesus, e disse-lhe: Se tu conhecesses o dom de Deus, e quem é o que te diz: Dá-me de beber, tu lhe pedirias, e ele te daria água viva.
11 Disse a mulher: Senhor, tu não tens com que [a] tirar, e o poço é fundo; de onde pois tens a água viva?
12 És tu maior que nosso pai Jacó, que nos deu o poço? E ele mesmo dele bebeu, e seus filhos, e seu gado?
13 Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Todo aquele que beber desta água voltará a ter sede;
14 Porém aquele que beber da água que eu lhe der, para sempre não terá sede, mas a água que eu lhe der se fará nele fonte de água, que salte para vida eterna.
