John 4:20-24

20 1Our fathers worshiped on 2this mountain, and yet you Jews say that 3in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.”

21Jesus said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that 4 5a time is coming when you will worship the Father 6neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 7You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because 8salvation is from the Jews.

23But 9 10a time is coming, and 11even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father 12in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be 13His worshipers.

24God is 14spirit, and those who worship Him must worship 15in spirit and truth.”
