English Revised Version (ERV)
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Barnes's John 4:13 Bible Commentary
Shall thirst again - Jesus did not directly answer her question, or say that he was greater than Jacob, but he gave her an answer by which she might infer that he was. He did not despise or undervalue Jacob or his gifts; but, however great might be the value of that well, the water could not altogether remove thirst.
