_ _ If thou knewest, etc. — that is, “In Me thou seest only a petitioner to thee but if thou knewest who that Petitioner is, and the Gift that God is giving to men, thou wouldst have changed places with Him, gladly suing of Him living water — nor shouldst thou have sued in vain” (gently reflecting on her for not immediately meeting His request). |
John 4:10
If thou hadst known the gift — The living water; and who it is — He who alone is able to give it: thou wouldst have asked of him — On those words the stress lies. Water — In like manner he draws the allegory from bread, John 6:27, and from light, John 8:12; the first, the most simple, necessary, common, and salutary things in nature. Living water — The Spirit and its fruits. But she might the more easily mistake his meaning, because living water was a common phrase among the Jews for spring water. |

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest (d) 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 (e) living water.

(e) This everlasting water, that is to say, the exceeding love of God, is called "living" or "of life", to make a difference between it and the water that should be drawn out of a well: and these metaphors are frequently used by the Jews. |
