24. God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
25. The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26. Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
27. And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

32. But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33. The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?
