John 4:21

¹⁹ “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

²² You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
