John 4:15–26

¹⁵The woman said to Him, “¹Sir, ^agive me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”

¹⁷The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’;

¹⁸for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”

¹⁹The woman said to Him, “¹Sir, I perceive that You are ^aa prophet.

²⁰“^aOur fathers worshiped in ^bthis mountain, and you people say that ^cin Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”

²¹Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, ^aan hour is coming when ^bneither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²²“^aYou worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for ^bsalvation is from the Jews.

²³“But ^aan hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father ^bin spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

²⁴“God is ¹spirit, and those who worship Him must worship ^ain spirit and truth.”

²⁵The woman said to Him, “I know that ^aMessiah is coming (^bHe who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.”

²⁶Jesus said to her, “^aI who speak to you am He.”
