John 4:16-32

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

¹⁷The woman answered, and said, I have none husband or I have not an husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband or I have not an husband;

¹⁸for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast now, is not thine husband. This thing thou saidest soothly.

¹⁹The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.

²⁰Our fathers worshipped in this hill, and ye say, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it behooveth to worship.

²¹Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe thou to me, for the hour shall come, when neither in this hill, neither in Jerusalem, ye shall worship the Father.

²²Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of the Jews.

²³But the time is come, and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him.

²⁴God is a Spirit, and it behooveth them that worship him, to worship in spirit and truth.

²⁵The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah is come, that is said Christ; therefore when he cometh, he shall tell us all things.

²⁶Jesus saith to her, I am he or I am, that speaketh with thee.

²⁷And anon his disciples came, and wondered, that he spake with the woman; nevertheless no man said to him, What seekest thou, or, What speakest thou with her?

²⁸Therefore the woman left her water pot, and went into the city, and said to the men,

²⁹Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things that I have done; whether he be Christ?

³⁰And they went out of the city, and came to him.

³¹In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, and said, Master or Rabbi, eat.

³²But he said to them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not.
