Christ said to the Samaritan woman:
"Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father. God is spirit, and they who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."
When Christ said this...
he removed from us for the future...
the obligation to observe one place of worship...
and introduced a more lofty and spiritual way of worship.

These arguments would suffice to establish that, for the future...
there will be no sacrifice, no priesthood, no king among the Jews.
Above all, the destruction of the city has proved all these points. But I could also bring forward the prophets as my witnesses, and they distinctly said the same thing. But I see that you have become weary with the length of my discourse... I am afraid that you may think I am foolish, and rash to keep annoying you.
For this reason I promise...
that I will speak to you on this same subject...
at another time.
