20 (A)Our fathers worshiped on (B)this mountain, and yet you Jews say that (C)in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.” 21 Jesus *said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that [a](D)a time is coming when you will worship the Father (E)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 (F)You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because (G)salvation is from the Jews. 23 But [b](H)a time is coming, and [c]even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (I)in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be [d]His worshipers. 24 God is [e]spirit, and those who worship Him must worship (J)in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman *said to Him, “I know that (K)Messiah is coming ((L)He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” 26 Jesus *said to her, (M)I am He, the One speaking to you.”
