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.
