21 Believe me woman. In the first part of his answer he doth briefly abolish the ceremonial worship, which was instituted under the law. For seeing that he saith that the hour is at hand which hath no proper and peculiar place of worshipping, he giveth us to understand that that was temporal which was instituted by Moses, & that now is the time when the wall of separation shall be taken away. By this means he extendeth the worship of God farther, being delivered out of the former straits, that even the Samaritans may be made partakers thereof. When he saith that the hour doth come, he putteth the present tense instead of the future: notwithstanding the meaning is, that the abrogation of the law is now at hand, as concerning the temple and the priesthood & other external rites. In calling god father, he seemeth by the way to set him against those fathers whereof the woman had made mention, as if he should say, that god is a common father for all men: so that he may now be worshipped every where without any difference of places or countries.
21 Beleeue mee woman. In the first part of his answere he doth briefly abolish the ceremoniall worship, which was instituted vnder the law. For seeing that he saith that the houre is at hand which hath no proper and peculiar place of worshipping, he giueth vs to vnderstande that that was tēporal which was instituted by Moses, & that now is the time whē the wall of separation shalbe taken away. By this meanes hee extendeth the worship of God farther, being deliuered out of the former straites, that euen the Samaritanes may be made partakers thereof. VVhen hee saith that the houre doth come, he putteth the presentence insteed of the future: notwithstanding the meaning is, that the abrogation of the lawe is now at hand, as concerning the temple and the priesthood & other externall rites. In calling god father, he seemeth by the way to set him against those fathers wherof the woman had made mention, as if hee should say, that god is a common father for all men: so that he may now be worshipped euery where without any difference of places or countries.
22 You worship you know not what, we worship that which we know, because salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and truth, for the father requireth to have such to worship him. 24 God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit & truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that the Messiah shall come who is called Christ, therefore when he shall come he shall tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I am he that talk with thee.
