OET-LV Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answered and said to_her:
Everyone which drinking of the this water, will_be_thirsting again,
In this section Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman who had come to get water from a well. Jesus asked her for a drink of water. The woman was surprised that he spoke to her. Jesus was a Jew, and most Jewish people hated the Samaritans. But Jesus stayed and talked with the woman.
Jesus told the woman that he could give her living water, and he told her that he was the Messiah. The women went back to her town and brought many of the other Samaritan people to Jesus.
It is good to translate the section before giving it a title. Here are some other possible headings for this section:
Jesus brought good news to the hated Samaritan people
The conversation at the well
A Samaritan woman came to the well where Jesus was resting. Jesus asked her for water to drink, and then he offered her living water that would lead to eternal life.
Jesus did not directly answer the woman’s question about who was greater. Instead he implied that his water was better. His water was not like the water that came from the well. People who drank his water would not become thirsty again.
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty later.
Jesus answered, “When a person drinks the water from this well, he will soon want/need to drink water again.
Jesus said to her: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as Jesus said to her is more literally “Jesus answered and said to her.” Because Jesus is answering the woman’s question, you may want to indicate that what Jesus said was an answer. For example:
Jesus replied (NET)
Jesus answered her (GW)
Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again: In this clause, Jesus says that people who drank the well water would soon need to drink again. Here are other ways to translate this clause:
Those who drink this water will get thirsty again. (GNT)
Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. (NLT)
