People's Commentary (NT)
John 4:20
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, etc. Partly to turn
attention from her sinful life, and partly to have him settle a great
controversy, she appeals to him to say where men ought to worship God.
The Jews went up to Jerusalem to the temple. The Samaritans built their
temples on "this mountain", Mt. Gerizim. Note that the woman worshiped
there because "our fathers" did. The "fathers" were wrong. Many now
keep up infant sprinkling and other corruptions because their "fathers"
practiced them.
