Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} joins a second clause, to phrear estin bathy {τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶν βαθύ | tò phré-ar es-tín ba-thý} “and the well is deep,” adding a further, independent obstacle.
The object phrase to hydōr to zōn {τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν | tò hý-dōr tò zōn} uses a repeated article with the participle zōn {ζῶν | zōn} in attributive position, literally “the water, the living,” highlighting “living water” as a distinct, almost technical notion. English formal rendering keeps the sequential clauses and explicit “From where then” to mirror the Greek reasoning, while the dynamic version reshapes oun as “So” for natural flow but preserves the underlying skepticism and focus on the contrast between physical water and the “living water” Jesus offers.
