John 4:16-26
Young's Literal Translation
16 Jesus saith to her, `Go, call thy husband, and come hither;'
17 the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, `Well didst thou say -- A husband I have not;
18 for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'
19 The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;
20 our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'
21 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;
22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;
23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;
24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'
25 The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'
26 Jesus saith to her, `I am [he], who am speaking to thee.'

New American Standard Bible
16 He *said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said to Him, “I have no husband.” Jesus *said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this which you have said is true.” 19 The woman *said to Him, “[a]Sir, I perceive that You are (A)a prophet. 20 (B)Our fathers worshiped on (C)this mountain, and yet you Jews say that (D)in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.” 21 Jesus *said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that [b](E)a time is coming when you will worship the Father (F)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 (G)You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because (H)salvation is from the Jews. 23 But [c](I)a time is coming, and [d]even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (J)in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be [e]His worshipers. 24 God is [f]spirit, and those who worship Him must worship (K)in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman *said to Him, “I know that (L)Messiah is coming ((M)He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” 26 Jesus *said to her, “(N)I am He, the One speaking to you.”
