John 4:19–27
19The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.↗
20Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”↗
21Jesus said to her,“Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.↗
22You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.↗
23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.↗
24God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”↗
25The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”↗
26Jesus said to her,“I am he, the one who speaks to you.”↗
27Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”↗
