My

When His parents [finally] saw Him, they were very surprised and His mother asked Him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your [step-] father and I have been anxiously searching for you."

Then Jesus entered the Temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold things there. He upset the tables of the cashiers [i.e., those who exchanged foreign coins] and the benches of those who sold pigeons [for sacrifices].

He said to those who were selling the pigeons, "Take these things out of here, and quit making my Father's house [i.e., the Temple] a merchandise mart."

Jesus answered them, "My food is doing what God, who sent me, wants me to, and accomplishing His work.

But Jesus said to them, "My Father is continuing to work and I am working."

For I have come down from heaven to do what God, who sent me, wants me to do, not what I want to do.

And God, who sent me, is with me; He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to Him."

While it is still daytime we must perform the acts of God, who sent me. Nighttime is coming, when no one can act.
