John 4:18-32

¹⁸For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.

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

²⁰Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹Jesus saith to her, Believe me, woman, the hour is coming, when ye shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²²Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for such worshippers the Father seeketh.

²⁴God is a spirit; and they who worship must worship in spirit and in truth.

²⁵The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ); when he hath come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶Jesus saith to her, I who speak to thee am he.

²⁷And upon this his disciples came, and marveled that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?

²⁸The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?

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

³¹In the mean while the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

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