New American Standard Bible 1995

John 4:19-24

19The woman said to Him, “1Sir, I perceive that You are 2a prophet.

20 3Our fathers worshiped in 4this mountain, and you people say that 5in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”

21Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, 6an hour is coming when 7neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

22 8You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for 9salvation is from the Jews.

23But 10an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father 11in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

24God is 12spirit, and those who worship Him must worship 13in spirit and truth.”
