Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:23

23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and in truth : for the Father seeketh such to worship him .

Under the Gospel, and the Kingdom of the Messiah, which is yet further coming, and is already began in the World, the true Worshippers of God shall not Worship him, as you Samaritans who Worship you know not what, without any Rule or Prescript of the Word; nor yet as the Hypocritical Iews, who rest upon their Sacrifices and Ritual performances, as if they should purge away their sins, Psal. 50.8. Isa. 1.11. and 66.3. Micah 6.7. no, nor yet as the more sincere Iews, who indeed do truly and with their Hearts Worship God; but while the first Tabernacle was yet standing, which was a Figure for the present time, by Sacrifices that could not make him that did the Service perfect as pertaining to the Conscience—by meats, and drinks, and divers Ordinances, imposed on them until the time of Reformation, Heb. 9.10. That time of Reformation is now come, when the true Worshippers of God shall offer up to him a more Spiritual Worship; not that Carnal Worship; and a more true, and real, and solid Worship

for God my Father seeketh such to Worship him, as shall not Worship him with a mere bodily labour and Homage, but with their Hearts and Spirits; nor with those Ceremonial performances now in use by Gods Prescript at Hierusalem; but without them, I being come, whom all those Services did but pre-figure, and point unto.
