the well is deep} (oute antl(886d)a echeis kai to phrear estin
bathu). This broken construction of oute-kai (neither--and)

to draw with. This well (phrear) is 100 feet deep and Jesus had
no rope. The bucket of skin ("with three cross sticks at the
mouth to keep it open," Vincent) was kept at the well to be let
down by a goat's hair rope. {That living water} (	o hud(9372) to
