“Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
Her response is still referring to the physical realm; she does not understand the spiritual aspect of what Jesus is saying. The carnal man cannot understand spiritual things.
“nothing to draw with” = most public wells would have a skin with 3 cross sticks at the mouth to keep it open, which could be let down by a goatskin rope to draw water, but obviously this well had none. The need for one was real because the well was deep: about 100 feet.
She asks Him where He can get this living water. She cannot see it or understand where it is because it is hidden in Christ. Although they don’t know it, the world is asking this same question today. It is our job to reveal the answer to them.
