On their own, each of the discourses on the Water of Life and the Bread of Life are key examples of "single theme discourses" in the Gospel of John. Īnother discourse, called the Bread of Life Discourse appears in John 6:22–59. The Water of Life Discourse is the second among the seven discourses in the Gospel of John that pair with the seven signs in that gospel. The passages that comprise John 4:10–26, and relate the episode of the Samaritan woman are sometimes referred to as the "Water of Life Discourse". In the Gospel of John some references to water, as in John 4:15, are traditionally identified as the Water of Life being the Holy Spirit. Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well, by Paolo Veronese, 1585 Stott relates this theme to Eternal Life in John 17:3: "And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, Jesus Christ".

The Revelation reference is interpreted as the Holy Spirit. Revelation 22:1 then states: "And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb". "I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely".
The reference to Water of Life in Revelation 21:6 appears in the context of New Jerusalem and states: Drinking it is not limited to the usefulness of water only unless it is exhausted.
