But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.” Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
