The Old Woman

"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep.  Where can you get this living water?" ...
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.  Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."  John 4: 11-14

女はイエスに言った、「主よ、あなたは、くむ物をお持ちにならず、その上、井戸は深いのです。その生ける水を、どこから手に入れるのですか。
あなたは、この井戸を下さったわたしたちの父ヤコブよりも、偉いかたなのですか。ヤコブ自身も飲み、その子らも、その家畜も、この井戸から飲んだのですが」。
イエスは女に答えて言われた、「この水を飲む者はだれでも、またかわくであろう。
しかし、わたしが与える水を飲む者は、いつまでも、かわくことがないばかりか、わたしが与える水は、その人のうちで泉となり、永遠の命に至る水が、わきあがるであろう」。

This drawing is so old, I don't even remember drawing it.  I know it was when I was in high school.  And it has a black frame around it, which means that I entered it into an art contest.  I like this woman because it makes me wonder what she's thinking.  She's old and wrinkled.  It makes me think that she's thirsty, which is why I added the Bible scripture of the woman at the well.
