16. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17. The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
18. for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
19. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22. Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
25. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
26. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27. And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
28. So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
29. Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?
30. They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
