18 Car tu as eu cinq maris, et celui que tu as maintenant n’est pas ton mari. En cela tu as dit vrai.

19 Seigneur, lui dit la femme, je vois que tu es prophète.

20 Nos pères ont adoré sur cette montagne; et vous dites, vous, que le lieu où il faut adorer est à Jérusalem.

21 Femme, lui dit Jésus, crois-moi, l’heure vient où ce ne sera ni sur cette montagne ni à Jérusalem que vous adorerez le Père.

22 Vous adorez ce que vous ne connaissez pas; nous, nous adorons ce que nous connaissons,car le salut vient des Juifs.
