New International Version

¹⁹“Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.^(A) ²⁰Our 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) ²²You Samaritans worship what you do not know;^(F) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.^(G) ²³Yet 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. ²⁴God is spirit,^(J) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
