Conversation With A Samaritan Woman

21 Jesus replied: Woman believe me. The hour comes when you will worship the Father neither in the mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour comes and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father with spirit and truth. The Father seeks such people to worship him.
