John 4:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 [a]Our fathers worshipped in this [b]mountain, and ye say, that in (A)Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem worship the Father.
22 Ye worship that which ye (B)know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is of the Jews.
