The text is, ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν

ἀπεκρίθη -> third person, singular, aorist, passive, indicative verb -> replied

Ἰησοῦς -> third person, masculine, singular, nominative, proper noun -> Jesus

καὶ -> coordinating conjunction -> and

εἶπεν -> third person, singular, aorist, active, indicative verb -> said

αὐτῇ -> third person, personal, feminine, singular, dative pronoun -> to her

πᾶς -> masculine, singular, nominative adjective -> all or everyone

ὕδατος -> neuter, singular, genitive noun -> water

τούτου -> neuter, singular, genitive, demonstrative pronoun -> this

διψήσει -> third person, singular, future, active, indicative verb -> will thirst

The meaning of this verse is,

Jesus replied and said to her, “All the ones drinking of this water will thirst again..”

**NRIEH:  For the sake of clarity the word is translated into English, but to avoid such odd constructions as applying a definite article (“the”) to a substantive sufficiently determined by its being a proper noun, or by the use of a qualifier other than the definite article. An example would be the basic translation “Peter said to the Jesus”; the word “the” is completely unnecessary. There are many examples of this in the New Testament. The designation NRIEH is equivalent to “Not Rendered Into English Here”.
