16. Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and return here."
17. The woman responded and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her: "You have spoken well, in saying, 'I have no husband.'
18. For you have had five husbands, but he whom you have now is not your husband. You have spoken this in truth."
19. The woman said to him: "Lord, I see that you are a Prophet.
20. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."
21. Jesus said to her: "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you shall worship the Father, neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know. For salvation is from the Jews.
23. But the hour is coming, and it is now, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeks such persons who may worship him.
24. God is Spirit. And so, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."
25. The woman said to him: "I know that the Messiah is coming (who is called the Christ). And then, when he will have arrived, he will announce everything to us."
26. Jesus said to her: "I am he, the one who is speaking with you."
27. And then his disciples arrived. And they wondered that he was speaking with the woman. Yet no one said: "What are you seeking?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"
28. And so the woman left behind her water jar and went into the city. And she said to the men there:
29. "Come and see a man who has told me all the things that I have done. Is he not the Christ?"
30. Therefore, they went out of the city and came to him.
31. Meanwhile, the disciples petitioned him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32. But he said to them, "I have food to eat which you do not know."
33. Therefore, the disciples said to one another, "Could someone have brought him something to eat?"
34. Jesus said to them: "My food is to do the will of the One who sent me, so that I may perfect his work.
