THE REDEEMER AMONG MEN 365
JACOB's WELL TODAY
He said to her kindly, ''If thou didst know the gift of J u 5 God and Who He is that saith to thee 'Give Me to drink,' thou perhaps wouldst have asked of Him and r He would have given thee living water." The woman
said, ''Sir, Thou hast nothing wherewith to draw and the well is deep. Whence, then, hast Thou living water? Art Thou greater than our father Jacob, who. gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his . children, and his cattle?" Jesus answered, "Whoso- ever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst forever. But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of waters springing up unto life everlasting.''
"Sir," said the woman, "give me this water, that I may not thirst nor have to come hither to draw water."
