John 4:17-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

17. "I have no husband," she replied. Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband.

18. The fact is, you have had five husbands. And the man you have now is not your husband. What you have just said is very true."

19. "Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet.

20. Our people have worshiped on this mountain for a long time. But you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."

21. Jesus said, "Believe me, woman. A time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

22. You Samaritans worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know. Salvation comes from the Jews.
