{Sir} (Kurie). Not yet "Lord" for her. See verse 11 .
{This water} ( outo to hud(9372)). This peculiar kind of water. She
did not grasp the last phrase "unto life eternal," and speaks
half ironically of "this water." {That I thirst not} (hina m(880a)dips(935c)). Final clause with hina, alluding to the words of
Jesus, water that will prevent thirst. {Neither come} (m(8864)e
dierch(936d)ai). Carrying on the negative purpose with present
middle subjunctive, "nor keep on coming" as she has to do once or
twice every day. She is evidently puzzled and yet attracted.
