John 4:15–26

¹⁵The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw. ¹⁶Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here. ¹⁷The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband; ¹⁸for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly. ¹⁹The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet. ²⁰Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship. ²¹Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. ²²Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews. ²³But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers. ²⁴God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. ²⁵The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things. ²⁶Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am he.
