Under the new covenant, the temple of God is the hearts of believers where the Holy Spirit lives upon Salvation of a believer in Jesus Christ.
John 4
English Standard Version (ESV)
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria
Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and*baptizing more disciples than John*(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),*he left Judea and departed*again for Galilee.*And he had to pass through Samaria.*So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field*that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.*Jacob's well was there; so Jesus,wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a]
A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,*“Give me a drink.”*(For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)*The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)*Jesus answered her,*“If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you*living water.”*The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?*Are you greater than our father Jacob?*He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”*Jesus said to her,*“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,*but*whoever drinks of the water that I will give him*will never be thirsty again.
*The water that I will give him will become*in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”*The woman said to him, “Sir,*give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
Jesus said to her,*“Go,*call your husband, and come here.”*The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her,*“You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;*for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”*The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that*you are*a prophet.Our fathers worshiped on*this mountain, but you say that*in Jerusalem is*the place where people ought to worship.”*Jesus said to her,*“Woman, believe me,*the hour is coming when*neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.*You worship what you do not know;*we worship what we know, for*salvation isfrom the Jews.*But*the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father*in spirit and*truth, for the Father*is seeking such people to worship him.*God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”*The woman said to him, “I know that*Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes,*he will tell us all things.”*Jesus said to her,*“I who speak to you am he.”
Just then*his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”*So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people,*“Come, see a man*who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”*They went out of the town and were coming to him.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying,*“Rabbi, eat.”*But he said to them,*“I have food to eat that you do not know about.”*So the disciples said to one another,*“Has anyone brought him something to eat?”*Jesus said to them,*“My food is*to do the will of him who sent me and*to accomplish his work.*Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that*the fields are white for harvest.*Already*the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that*sower andreaper*may rejoice together.*For here the saying holds true,*‘One sows and another reaps.’*I sent you to reap*that for which you did not labor. Others have labored,*and you have entered into their labor.”
Many Samaritans*from that town believed in him*because of*the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.”*So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.*And many more believed*because of his word.They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves,*and we know that this is indeed*the Savior*of the world.”
After*the two days he departed for Galilee.*(For Jesus himself had testified*that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)*So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him,*having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For*they too had gone to the feast.
