Exegesis

Within this clause, the correlative pair oute…oute {οὔτε…οὔτε | oú-te…oú-te} governs two parallel prepositional phrases: en tō orei toutō {ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ | en tô ó-rei toú-tō} and en Hierosolymois {ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις | en Hi-e-ro-so-lý-mois}. This parallelism underscores that neither the Samaritan sacred mountain nor Jerusalem will function as the defining locus of worship.

Root and etymology
