²¹ Jesus said to her, ^(A)“Woman, believe me, ^(B)the hour is coming when ^(C)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

⁸ I desire then that ^(A)in every place the men should pray, ^(B)lifting ^(C)holy hands without anger or quarreling;

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name ^(A)will be^[a] great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name ^(B)will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.

¹⁸ For ^(A)through him we both have ^(B)access in ^(C)one Spirit to the Father.

²³ But ^(A)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father ^(B)in spirit and ^(C)truth, for the Father ^(D)is seeking such people to worship him.

²⁰ For where two or three are ^(A)gathered in my name, ^(B)there am I among them.”

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

³² Behold, ^(A)the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ^(B)you will be scattered, each to his own home, and ^(C)will leave me alone. ^(D)Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

^2 (A)They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, ^(B)the hour is coming when ^(C)whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
