And this is the testimony John [the Immerser] gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" [Note: Levites were men who assisted the priests in the Temple service].

For the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple them that fold oxen,

where he found in the temple those that sold oxen, sheep, and doves, besides the changers of money, who were sitting there.

upon which he made a whip of small cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with their sheep, and oxen; and threw about the changers money, and over-set the tables; and said to the dove-sellers,

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."

Then Jesus' disciples remembered that it was written [Psa. 69:9], "Enthusiasm for Your [i.e., God's] house [i.e., the Temple] will consume me."

Jesus answered them, saying, destroy this temple, and within three days I will raise it up.

to this said the Jews, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

but by the temple he meant his body.

Now in Jerusalem there was a pool of water near the Sheep Gate [Note: This was a city gate in the north wall]. It had five porticos [i.e., covered open areas along the outside of the Temple]. In the Hebrew language it was called Bethesda.

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him.

Then the temple police came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why haven’t you brought Him?”

And at dawn he came again to the temple,

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

as Jesus therefore was walking in the temple in Solomon's portico,

if we let him go on at this rate, all will believe on him; and the Romans will come, and destroy both our temple and nation.

when they were in the temple, they enquired for Jesus, and said to one another, do you think he will not be at the feast?

So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish temple police arrested Jesus and tied Him up.

Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

When the chief priests and the temple police saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

Pilate responded, “Take Him and crucify Him yourselves, for I find no grounds for charging Him.”
