The Future of Bible Study Is Here.
John 4:16–26
16 He * said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”
17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus * said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’;
18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”
19 The 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.”
21 Jesus * 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.”
25 The 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.”
| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
