John 4:15-24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
15 The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.’
16 Jesus said to her, ‘Go, call your husband, and come back.’ 17 The woman answered him, ‘I have no husband.’ Jesus said to her, ‘You are right in saying, “I have no husband”; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!’ 19 The woman said to him, ‘Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you[a] say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.’ 21 Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.’

John 4:15-24
New International Version
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(A) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(B) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(C) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(D)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(E) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(F) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(G) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(H) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(I) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(J) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(K) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
