“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.' — the declaration that God is spirit (pneuma) rejects materialist and localist religion. Worship must be aligned with God's nature: spiritual (pneumatikos) and truthful. The repetition of this theme emphasizes John's Christological revolution: place and external observance yield to Spirit and truth.
