NETBible

But whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again,¹ but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain² of water springing up³ to eternal life.”

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “will never be thirsty forever.” The possibility of a later thirst is emphatically denied.

²tn Or “well.” “Fountain” is used as the translation for πηγή (phgh) here since the idea is that of an artesian well that flows freely, but the term “artesian well” is not common in contemporary English.

³tn The verb ἁλλομένου (Jallomenou) is used of quick movement (like jumping) on the part of living beings. This is the only instance of its being applied to the action of water. However, in the LXX it is used to describe the “Spirit of God” as it falls on Samson and Saul. See Judg 14:6, 19; 15:14; 1 Kgdms 10:2, 10 LXX (= 1 Sam 10:6, 10 ET); and Isa 35:6 (note context).
