St John 4:21-27 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

21. Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

22. You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.

23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

24. God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.

25. The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26. Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.

27. And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
