Our fathers worshiped on this mountain. But you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”

Jesus said, “Believe me, woman! The time is coming when you will not have to be in Jerusalem or on this mountain to worship the Father.

You Samaritans worship something you don’t understand. We Jews understand what we worship, since salvation comes from the Jews.

But the time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. In fact, that time is now here. And these are the kind of people the Father wants to be his worshipers.

God is spirit. So the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

We all know that God does not listen to sinners, but he will listen to anyone who worships and obeys him.

The man answered, “Yes, I believe, Lord!” Then he bowed and worshiped Jesus.
