Exegesis
The participial phrase tous proskynountas auton {τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν | toús proskunoûntas autón} is substantive and ongoing, describing the people the Father desires as those continually worshiping Him. The translation therefore preserves the verse’s time tension, its shift from location to manner, and the explanatory grounding in the Father’s initiative.
In context — John 4:23
But the hour is drawing near—and now is here—when authentic worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, because the Father seeks people like these who worship Him.
