John:4:14
rwp@John:4:14 @{That I shall give him} (\hou eg ds auti\). Relative \hou\ attracted to the case (genitive) of the antecedent (\hudatos\). Future active indicative of \didmi\. {Shall never thirst} (\ou m dipssei eis ton aiona\). The double negative \ou m\ is used with either the future indicative as here or the aorist subjunctive, the strongest possible negative. See both constructions (\ou m peinasi\ and \ou me dipssei\) in strkjv@John:6:35|. Jesus has not answered the woman's question save by the necessary implication here that he is superior to Jacob. {A well of water springing up unto eternal life} (\pg hudatos hallomenou eis zn ainion\). "Spring (or fountain) of water leaping (bubbling up) unto life eternal." Present middle participle of \hallomai\, old verb, in N.T. only here and strkjv@Acts:3:8; strkjv@14:10|. The woman's curiosity is keenly excited about this new kind of water.
