17. The woman replied, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Right you are when you said, ‘I have no husband,’
18. for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”
19. The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21. Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22. You people worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
23. But a time is coming – and now is here – when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers.
24. God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25. The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (the one called Christ); “whenever he comes, he will tell us everything.”
