John 4:18-31

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

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

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

²¹Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

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

²³But 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.

²⁴God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵The 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.

²⁶Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.

²⁷And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

²⁸The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:

²⁹Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?

³⁰They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.

³¹In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
