John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink… The life of the Lord, living water, in distinction from the stale water of this world's life. I. THE LATTER PROVOKES THIRST, THE FORMER QUENCHES IT. II. THE ONE BECOMES FOUL, THE OTHER TAKES AWAY FOULNESS. III. THE ONE STANDS IN A MARSH, THE OTHER GUSHES AND FLOWS. IV. THE ONE SINKS OR EVAPORATES, THE OTHER BECOMES AN ETERNAL FOUNTAIN. (Lange.) Parallel Verses KJV: Jesus answered and said unto her, 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. |
