John 4:22 You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

Salvation came through the Jewish faith, in the name of the one speaking to the Samaritan woman, the Jewish faith was to produce the messiah its that simple, but here Christ speaks to a woman not a Jew, but a Samaritan, a hated person by the Jew's unworthy of salvation according too their teachings.

Subsequently, when Christ says to the Samaritan woman that the Jews know what they worship, he is not saying it was pure truth, if pure truth was the requirements for salvation than they would have known God's salvation included more than them, but they didn't and showed no mercy towards Gentile or Samaritan!

Pure truth is not from teachings as many in false religion teach and believe and are willing to destroy others spiritual and sometimes physically life over. Pure truth is when we love God, as Christ Jesus did, and the father of the Jewish faith did, Abraham . No law of the Jew's allowed Christ to speak to an Samaritan woman, no law at the time of Abraham allowed for him to murder his son Isaac, and for that matter no human law would allow YHWH to let His own Son die for our sins. Here than we have pure truth, not laws written upon paper condemning and justifying mankind's sins. But rather written into hearts loving God and willingly serving him from love and not law. Christ speaks not of this type of understanding the Jews had, because later in this same letter of John he called the Jew's the world, not God's chosen people.

1Cor.13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. 13:3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.

So in context the Jew's had the law, they had all the tools given them from Abraham forward as the one people God entrusted the sacred writings, not the Samaritan's faith, but most did not take such knowledge into pure truth of loving Jehovah God.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

John 17:14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
