Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:24

24 God is a Spirit , and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit, and in truth .

God is not a Corporeal Being, made up of Blood, and Flesh, and Bones, having Senses as Bodies have, to be pleased with sensible things; but he is a Spiritual Being, the Father of Spirits, and requireth a Spiritual Service proportioned to his Being

and therefore those that pay a Religious Homage to him, must do it with their Spirits, and according to the Rule that he hath prescribed in truth and reality. This is now the will of God; and tho' he required of his People under the Law a more Ritual Figurative Service, yet that is now to cease; and therefore the Woman of Samaria need not trouble her self which was the truest Worship, that at Mount Gerazim, or Mount Sion, for both of them were very suddenly to determine, and a new and more substantial Spiritual Worship was to succeed, to the learning of the way and method of which she was more to attend, and not to spend her thoughts about these things, which were of no significancy, and tended onely to Minister Questions of no use.
