John 4 : 15 - 24
Chapter 4
| 15 | The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
|
| 16 | Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
|
| 17 | The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,'
|
| 18 | for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."
|
| 19 | The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
|
| 20 | Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."
|
| 21 | Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
|
| 22 | You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
|
| 23 | But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
|
| 24 | God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
