16 Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well: I have no husband.

18 For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly.

19 The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.

21 Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

22 You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

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.
