John 419 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20  Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22  You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit,
and those who worship Him must worship
in spirit and truth.” 
Who is right?

Soon, neither
Up to now, Jews were right

“I have no doubt that playing upon cymbals, touching the harp and the viol, and all that kind of music, which is so frequently mentioned in the Psalms, was a part of the education;
that is to say, the puerile instruction of the law”

"Musical instruments in celebrating the praises of God would be no more suitable than the burning of incense, the lighting of lamps, and the restoration of the other shadows of the law.
The Papists therefore, have foolishly borrowed, this, as well as many other things, from the Jews.”
