Picking up the story in John 4:5 onwards, we read of Jesus coming to a physical well bequeathed by Jacob (Israel) on his deathbed to his son Joseph (see Genesis 48:21, 22). Jesus was tired from His days journey and stopped by the well to quench His thirst. A Samaritan woman was also there to draw some water so Christ asked her for a drink - in that time no Jew would even consider travelling in Samaria as ill will existed between the two peoples from the days of the Babylonian Exile circa 586 BC.
As the woman of Samaria question Jesus' asking her for water, Jesus replied that if she knew who He was, she would of naturally asked for 'living water' or eternal life. This then is what He is referring to in verse 14 where He says, "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst." In other words, those who follow/imitate Jesus as His disciples, will receive from Him the gift of eternal life as children in the God Family - with Jesus as the elder brother.

What does John Chapter 1 verse 12-13 mean and what was the situation?
If you go back to verse 11, this verse is talkiing about the nation of Israel 'His own', the majority of Israel rejected Jesus as the messiah. But in verse 12 some did accept Him and these became children of God. In verse 13, becoming children of God happened by being born of God. This is the new birth, being born again, being born of God's spirit. Compare this with John 3:3-6. There is no 'situation' here, this is a kind of introduction. John is introducing the 'Word' and His purpose in coming to His people.

Does Jesus deny that he is God in John 17 verse 3 and John 5 verse 44?
A:To the author of John's Gospel, Jesus was most certainly God, and we should be cautious of reading any part of John to mean that Jesus was not God. John 5:44-45 does suggest a lapse, in which Jesus did deny he was God, but need not be read this way; John 17:3 is ambiguous and could more readily be seen as a denial by Jesus that he was God, but again need not be read this way. In Mark 10:18 (Why call me good. There is none good but God.), Jesus clearly does deny being God.
