In context
17 Mwanamke akamwambia, “Sina mume.” Yesu akajibu, “Umesema vyema, 'Sina mume;'
18 kwa maana umekuwa na wanaume watano, na mmoja ambaye unaye sasa sio mume wako. Katika hili umesema kweli!”
19 Mwanamke akamwambia, “Bwana naona yakuwa wewe ni nabii.
20 Baba zetu waliabudu katika mlima huu. Lakini ninyi mwasema ya kuwa Yerusalemu ndiyo sehemu ambayo watu wanapaswa kuabudu.”
21 Yesu akamjibu, “Mwanamke, niamini, wakati unakuja ambapo hamtamwabudu Baba katika mlima huu au Yerusalemu.
22 Ninyi watu mwaabudu kile msichokijua, lakini sisi twaabudu tunachokijua, kwa sababu wokovu watoka kwa Wayahudi.”
23 Hatahivyo, wakati unakuja, na sasa upo hapa, wakati waabuduo kweli watamwabudu Baba katika roho na kweli, kwa sababu Baba anawatafuta watu wa namna hiyo kuwa watu wake wanao mwabudu.
