Contextual Overview
4 He had to go through the country of Samaria. 5 So He came to a town in Samaria called Sycar. It was near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired from traveling so He sat down just as He was by the well. It was about noon. 7 A woman of Samaria came to get water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." 8 His followers had gone to the town to buy food. 9 The woman of Samaria said to Him, "You are a Jew. I am of Samaria. Why do You ask me for a drink when the Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria?" 10 Jesus said to her, "You do not know what God has to give. You do not know Who said to you, ‘Give Me a drink.' If you knew, you would have asked Him. He would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to Him, "Sir, the well is deep. You have nothing to get water with. Where will You get the living water? 12 Are You greater than our early father Jacob? He gave us the well. He and his children and his cattle drank from it." 13 Jesus said to her, "Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty 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.
