John 4:16-23 in English

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

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

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

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

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

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

¹⁶ Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus told her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband,’

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

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

²⁰ Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ Jesus told her, “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.

²² You Samaritans worship what you don’t know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ A time is coming, and has now come, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers that the Father seeks.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

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

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

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

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

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

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

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

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

¹⁶ Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”

¹⁷ She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.

¹⁸ It is also true that you have had five husbands one by one. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet because you are able to know people's secrets.

²⁰ But let me ask you a different question: Our ancestors worshipped God here on Gerizim mountain, but you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship God. So who is right?”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me when I say that there will be a time when it will not matter whether you worship God our Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem or somewhere else.

²² You people from Samaria do not know the one you are worshipping. But we (exc) Jews know whom we worship, because it is from us Jews that God has sent the one who will save people from the guilt of their sins.

²³ However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as God's Spirit directs and according to God's truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.

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

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

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

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

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

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

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

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

¹⁷ In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

¹⁸ You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

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

²⁰ Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

²¹ Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

²² You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.

¹⁹ The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.

²¹ Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

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

¹⁷ The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:

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

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

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

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

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

²³ But 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.

¹⁶ Jesus 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 said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in this you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² You worship what you do not know; we Jews worship what we know, because salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

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

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus says to her: “You stated correctly that you do not have a husband,

¹⁸ because you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is no husband of yours. You spoke the truth there!”

¹⁹ The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, while you (pl) say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ Jesus says to her: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we Jews worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming, in fact now is, when the genuine worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Really, because the Father is looking for such people to worship Him.

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

¹⁷ “I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.

¹⁸ “You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”

¹⁹ “I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.

²⁰ “Tell me this: our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is where we must worship.”

²¹ Jesus replied, “Believe me the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

²² You really don't know the God you're worshiping, while we worship the God we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming—and in fact it's here already—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for these are the kind of worshipers the Father wants.

¹⁶ Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.

¹⁹ The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor at Hierusalem worship ye Father.

²² Ye worship that which ye knowe not: we worship that which we knowe: for saluation is of the Iewes.

¹⁶ “Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”

¹⁷ “I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,

¹⁸ “For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”

¹⁹ “I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.

²⁰ “It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshipped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ “Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews Praisers say that in Jerusalem City of peace is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Woman, believe me, the time will come, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem City of peace, will you worship Abba Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for yishu'ah ·salvation· is from the Jews Praisers.

²³ But the time will come, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship Abba Father in spirit and truth, for Abba Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
