John 4:22

You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know. For salvation is from the Jews.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

In Context

23But the hour is coming, and it is now, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeks such persons who may worship him.
