These men had been sent from the Pharisees;

And said to the pigeon-dealers: "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's House into a market-house."

And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;

In these colonnades a large number of afflicted people were lying--blind, lame, and crippled.

Looking up, and noticing that a great crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip: "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?"

For no one does a thing privately, if he is seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world."

Some of the people, when they heard these words, said:

As for these people who do not know the Law--they are cursed!"

These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.

In consequence of these words a difference of opinion again arose among the Jews.

"Are there not," replied Jesus, "these words in your Law--'I said "Ye are gods"'?

His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in Scripture, and that they had done these things for him.

By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.

The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words--

Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

I am giving you these commands that you may love one another.

But I have spoken to you of these things that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself.

O righteous Father, though the world did not know thee, I knew thee; and these men knew that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.

"I have already told you that I am he," replied Jesus, "so, if it is for me that you are looking, let these men go."

Pilate also had these words written and put up over the cross--'JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.'

These words were read by many of the Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and they were written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.

But these have been recorded that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God--and that, through your belief in his Name, you may have Life.

It is this disciple who states these things, and who recorded them; and we know that his statement is true.
