The baptism of John; was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him? But if we say from men, they feared the people, for all considered John as a prophet indeed. And they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus answered and said, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? David himself said, by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool. David himself calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly. read more.
And he said to them in his teaching, Beware of the scribes who desire to walk in long robes, and desire salutations in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts; who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. They shall receive a greater judgment. And sitting opposite to the treasury, he observed how the multitude cast copper into the treasury. And many rich men cast in much; and one poor widow came and cast in two lepta, which is a quadrans [4 mills]. And calling his disciples, he said to them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury. For all [others] have cast in of their abundance; but she of her want has cast in all that she had her entire living.

And in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. Then the Jews wondered, saying, How does this man know letters, not having learned? Then Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not mine but his that sent me. read more.
If any one will do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or whether I speak from myself. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this [man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you performs the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered, You have a demon; who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them, I performed one work and you all wonder. Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man entirely sound on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge a righteous judgment. Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? And behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers at length learned that this is the Christ? But we know this man whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. Then Jesus cried, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not;

and Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews came around him and said to him, How long do you hold our minds [in doubt]? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I have told you and you believe not; the works which I perform in my Father's name, these testify of me; read more.
but you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me, and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said you are gods? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken, do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not my Father's works, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.
