I dunno. He seemed to be pretty straight forward when it came to worship and His Father’s house and stuff.

Very true.
But remember the Samaritan woman at the well? — Even though the Samaritans were worshiping "in the wrong place" (according to Judaism), this was his reply:

(John 4:21-28)
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from 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 seeks such as these 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” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.”

Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”
