John 4:16-21

16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

17The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband';

18for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."

19The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

21Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
