John 4:20-22 to Deuteronomy 11:29

NT Text: John 4:20-22

OT Source(s):

• Deuteronomy 11:29 (Gerizim and proper worship place)
• Joshua 8:33 (altar on Gerizim)
• Psalms 122:1-5 (Jerusalem temple)
• Psalms 76:1 ("In Judah God is known")

Reference Type: Allusion

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression + Contrast

Significance: Jesus affirms Jewish salvation-historical preeminence as God's chosen people and instrument of redemption. Yet neither Gerizim nor Jerusalem remains ultimate—Jesus replaces both as locus of worship (cf. 2:19-22).
