But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
The true worshippers ...  These contrast with the false, vain, ignorant worshippers of every age who have improperly worshipped God. Who are the true worshippers?  They are they who worship God in spirit and in truth. See under  John 4:24.
