"Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink...
...If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him,
and he would have given thee living water...
...Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
John 4: 7,10 13, 14.
