John 4:14-23

¹⁴but whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Instead, the water that I will give him will become a fountain of water in him, springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”

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

¹⁷The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'

¹⁸for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

¹⁹The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

²⁰Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”

²¹Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

²²You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
