Contextual Overview
4and it was necessary [for] Him to go through Samaria. 5He comes, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was thus sitting on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour; 7there comes a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, "Give Me to drink"; 8for His disciples were gone away into the city that they may buy food; 9the Samaritan woman therefore says to Him, "How do You, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealing with Samaritans. 10Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." 11The woman says to Him, "Lord, You do not even have a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; from where, then, have You the living water? 12Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank out of it, and his sons, and his livestock?" 13Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who is drinking 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

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.
