Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:11

11 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 ?

What our Saviour spake metaphorically, comparing his Grace, or his Spirit, or the Doctrine of his Gospel to Living Water, this poor woman understandeth literally; and knowing that the Well was very deep, (some say forty cubits) and seeing him as a Traveller, not provided with any thing to draw with, or into; she asks him, Whence he had that Living water? a Question much like that of Nicodemus, ch. 3. v. 4. So ignorant are persons of spiritual things, till they be enlightened by the holy Spirit of God.
