Exegesis
The reported speech is framed as a present general condition: ean tis dipsa {Ἐάν τις διψᾷ | Eán tis dipsâi} “if anyone is thirsty,” combining the particle ean with the present subjunctive to express an open, ongoing possibility applicable to any hearer.
In context — John 7:37
On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty , let him come to Me and let him drink.”
