Jesus replied, “Woman, believe Me, a time is coming [when God’s kingdom comes] when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.

You [Samaritans] do not know what you worship; we [Jews] do know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews.

God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one ought to worship is in Jerusalem [at the temple].”

Now there were some Greeks (Gentiles) among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and protected them, and not one of them was lost except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
