“The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?”
Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? — the woman's practical objection highlights Jesus' lack of equipment; she cannot imagine how he could draw from the well. Her reference to Jacob implicitly asks: are you greater than Jacob? This irony—not understanding Jesus' claim—propels the dialogue deeper.
