20 My ancestors worshiped on this mountain,[a] but you Jews say Jerusalem is the only place to worship.”

Believe me, the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans don't really know the one you worship. But we Jews do know the God we worship, and by using us, God will save the world.
