John 4:19-30
New American Standard Bible
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.”
27 And at this point His (O)disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What are You seeking?” or, “Why are You speaking with her?” 28 So the woman left her waterpot and went into the city, and *said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man (P)who told me all the things that I have done; (Q)this is not the [g]Christ, is He?” 30 They left the city and were coming to Him.

John 4:19-30
New International Version
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(A) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(B) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(C)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(D) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(E) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(F) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(G) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(H) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(I) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(J) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(K) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(L)
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned(M) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(N) Could this be the Messiah?”(O) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
