Contextual Overview
4 He had to go through Samaritan territory. 5 Then he came to a Samaritan city, called Sychar, near the field which Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob''s well was there; and Jesus was tired by the fatigue of the journey, and sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 And there came a woman from Samaria to draw water; and Jesus said to her, Give me water to drink. 8 His disciples had entered into the city to buy food for themselves. 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, How is it? You are a Jew, and yet you ask me for a drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no social intercourse with Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said to her, If you only knew the gift of God, and who is the man who said to you, Give me a drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. 11 The woman said to him, My lord, you have no leather bucket, and no deep well; where do you get the living water? 12 Why, are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and he himself drank from it, and his sons and his sheep? 13 Jesus answered and said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The woman saith unto him, Sir,....
:-;
give me this water, that I thirst not. The Syriac and Persic versions add, "again":
neither come hither; the Ethiopic version adds here, "again";
to draw. This she said also, in the same sneering and scoffing way, as her talking of not thirsting and coming thither to draw water, shows; and it is as if she had said, pray give me some of this fine water you talk of, that I may never thirst again; and so have no occasion to be at all this fatigue and trouble, to come daily to this well for water: though some think, that she now spoke seriously, having some little knowledge of what our Lord meant by living water, but with a mixture of much ignorance, and that she heartily desired it; but the reason she gives, shows the contrary.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The woman said ... - It may seem strange that the woman did not yet understand him, but it shows how slow sinners are to understand the doctrines of religion.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 4:15. Give me this water — She did not as yet comprehend our Lord's meaning; but her curiosity was much excited, and this was the design of our Lord, that he might have her mind properly prepared to receive the great truths which he was about to announce.
