17. The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” יהושע said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’
18. for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19. The woman said to Him, “Master, I see that You are a prophet.
20. “Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Yerushalayim is the place where one needs to worship.”
21. יהושע said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Yerushalayim, worship the Father.
22. “You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because the deliverance is of the Yehuḏim.
23. “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.
24. “Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”
25. The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, the One who is called Anointed. When that One comes, He shall announce to us all.”
26. יהושע said to her, “I who am speaking to you am He.”
27. And upon this His taught ones came, and they were marvelling that He was speaking with a woman, however, no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”
28. The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and said to the men,
29. “Come, see a Man who told me all that I have done. Is this not the Messiah?”
30. They went out of the city and were coming to Him.
31. But in the meantime His taught ones were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32. And He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
