Bible verse
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
John 4:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 4.
16 Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
18 In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
