John 4:21-31

21 Jesus told her, "Believe me. A time is coming when you Samaritans won't be worshiping the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 You don't know what you're worshiping. We [Jews] know what we're worshiping, because salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Indeed, the time is coming, and it is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. The Father is looking for people like that to worship him.
24 God is a spirit. Those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything." (Messiah is the one called Christ.)
26 Jesus told her, "I am he, and I am speaking to you now."
27 At that time his disciples returned. They were surprised that he was talking to a woman. But none of them asked him, "What do you want from her?" or "Why are you talking to her?"
28 Then the woman left her water jar and went back into the city. She told the people,
29 "Come with me, and meet a man who told me everything I've ever done. Could he be the Messiah?"
30 The people left the city and went to meet Jesus.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, have something to eat."
