Story guide: The woman recognizes Jesus as a prophet. Their conversation moves to worship in spirit and truth, and Jesus identifies himself to her as the one she is awaiting.
Open this scene in the reader →16He said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have spoken well: ‘I do not have a husband.’”
18For you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.
19The woman said to him, “Lord, I see that you are a prophet.”
20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
21Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.”
22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
23But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father indeed seeks such people to worship him.
24God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
25The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (the one called Messiah). “When he comes, he will tell us all things.”
26Jesus said to her, “I am, the one speaking to you.”
