Conversation With A Samaritan Woman

Gerizim, which was visible from where they were sitting]; but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people should worship [God]." 21 Jesus replied to her, "[My dear] woman, believe me [when I tell you], the time will come when you people will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You [Samaritans] do not [really] know what you worship; we [Jews] know what we worship because salvation is from the Jews [i.e., through Jewish prophets, Jewish Scriptures and a Jewish Messiah].
