“Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”
Jesus declared, 'Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. — Jesus transcends both the Samaritan and Jewish cultic traditions. The future time (hora erchomene) refers both to his resurrection and to the eternal order where the Spirit (not place) mediates worship. This is characteristic Johannine eschatology: realized and future simultaneously.
