John 4:23 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

But the hour cometh,— The thing you are chiefly concerned to know is, that a dispensation of religion is now beginning, under which all languages, countries, and places being sanctified, men are to worship God, not in Jerusalem, but in spirit; by offering the sacrifice, not of beasts, but of themselves; to love and obey him in all things, which is the truth of worship; thething signified by every sacrifice and service enjoined in the law, and whatalone was acceptable to the Father, even under the legal dispensation. See Ch. John 1:14; John 1:17.
