Then the Devil took him to the Holy City and had him stand on the highest point of the Temple.

Or haven't you read in the Law that on every Sabbath the priests in the Temple violate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

But I tell you, something greater than the Temple is here!

When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax came up to Peter and asked, "Your teacher pays the temple tax, doesn't he?"

Then Jesus went into the Temple, threw out everyone who was selling and buying in the Temple, and overturned the moneychangers' tables and the chairs of those who sold doves.

Blind and lame people came to him in the Temple, and he healed them.

But when the high priests and the scribes saw the amazing things that he had done and the children shouting in the Temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became furious

Then Jesus went into the Temple. While he was teaching, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

As Jesus left the Temple and was walking away, his disciples came up to him to point out to him the Temple buildings.

At this point, Jesus asked the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit? Day after day I sat teaching in the Temple, yet you didn't arrest me.

The high priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money."

Then Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the Temple and looked around at everything. Since it was already late, he went out with the Twelve to Bethany.

When they came to Jerusalem, he went into the Temple and began to throw out those who were selling and those who were buying in the Temple. He overturned the moneychangers' tables and the chairs of those who sold doves.

He wouldn't even let anyone carry a vessel through the Temple.

Then they went into Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking in the Temple, the high priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him

While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked, "How can the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?

As Jesus was leaving the Temple, one of his disciples told him, "Look, Teacher, what large stones and what beautiful buildings!"

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives facing the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew were asking him privately,

Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching, yet you didn't arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."

Led by the Spirit, he went into the Temple. When the parents brought the child Jesus to do for him what was customary under the Law,

and then as a widow for 84 years. She never left the Temple, but continued to worship there night and day with times of fasting and prayer.

Three days later, they found him in the Temple sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and posing questions to them.

The Devil also took him into Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the Temple. He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,

"Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to throw out those who were selling things.

Then he began teaching in the Temple every day. The high priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him,

One day, while Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple and telling them the good news, the high priests and the scribes came with the elders

Now while some people were talking about the Temple how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God he said,

Now during the day Jesus would teach in the Temple, but when evening came he would go out and spend the night on what is called the Mount of Olives.

And all the people would get up early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.

So he went off and discussed with the high priests and the Temple police how he could betray Jesus to them.

Then Jesus told the high priests, the Temple police, and the elders, who had come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?

While I was with you day after day in the Temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when darkness reigns!"

They were continually in the Temple, blessing God.

In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables.

After making a whip out of cords, he drove all of them out of the Temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the moneychangers and knocked over their tables.

Later on, Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Look! You have become well. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

Halfway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and began teaching.

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

At daybreak he appeared again in the Temple, and all the people came to him. So he sat down and began to teach them.

Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would've known my Father, too." He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

At this, they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.

and Jesus was walking around in the Temple inside the open porch of Solomon.

If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation."

They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?"

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the Temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

United in purpose, they went to the Temple every day, ate at each other's homes, and shared their food with glad and humble hearts.

One afternoon, Peter and John were on their way to the Temple for the three o'clock prayer time.

Now a man who had been crippled from birth was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from those who were going into the Temple.

When he saw that Peter and John were about to go into the Temple, he asked them to give him something.

and he sprang to his feet, stood up, and began to walk. Then he went with them into the Temple, walking, jumping, and praising God.

they knew that he was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

While they were speaking to the people, the priests, the commander of the Temple guards, and the Sadducees came to them.

"Go, stand in the Temple, and keep on telling the people the whole message about this life they can have."

After the apostles heard this, they went into the Temple at daybreak and began to teach. The high priest and those who were with him arrived, called the Council and all the elders of Israel together, and sent word to the prison to have the men brought in.

When the Temple police got there, they did not find them in the prison. They came back and reported,

When the commander of the Temple guards and the high priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss as to what could have happened to them.

Then someone came and told them, "Look! The men you put in prison are standing in the Temple and teaching the people!"

So the commander of the Temple guards went with his men to bring them back without force, because they were afraid of being stoned to death by the people.

Every day in the Temple and from house to house they kept teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah.

The priest of the temple of Zeus, which was just outside the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates. He and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifices.

There is a danger not only that our business will lose its reputation but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be brought into disrepute and that she will be robbed of her majesty that brought all Asia and the world to worship her."

When the city recorder had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, who in the world doesn't know that this city of Ephesus is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis and of the statue that fell down from heaven?

For you have brought these men here, although they neither rob temples nor blaspheme our goddess.

Then Paul took those men and the next day purified himself with them. Then he went into the Temple to announce the time when their days of purification would end and when the sacrifice would be offered for each of them.

When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from Asia, seeing Paul in the Temple, stirred up a large crowd. They grabbed Paul,

yelling, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere to turn against our people, the Law, and this place. More than that, he has even brought Greeks into the Temple and desecrated this Holy Place."

For they had earlier seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and assumed that Paul had taken him into the Temple.

The whole city was in chaos. The people rushed together, grabbed Paul, dragged him out of the Temple, and at once the doors were sealed shut.

"Then I returned to Jerusalem. While I was praying in the Temple, I fell into a trance

and even tried to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.

They never found me debating with anyone in the Temple or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or throughout the city,

They found me in the Temple doing these things just as I had completed the purification ceremony. No crowd or noisy mob was present.

Paul said in his defense, "I have done nothing wrong against the Law of the Jews, or of the Temple, or of the emperor."

For this reason the Jewish leaders grabbed me in the Temple and kept trying to kill me.

As you forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? As you abhor idols, do you rob temples?

For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you, who know better, eating in an idol's temple, he will be encouraged to eat what has been offered to idols, won't he?

You know that those who work in the Temple get their food from the Temple and that those who serve at the altar get their share of its offerings, don't you?

What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

Then he told me, "These are the people who are coming out of the terrible suffering. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. That is why: "They are in front of the throne of God and worship him night and day in his Temple. The one who sits on the throne will shelter them.

Then I was given a stick like a measuring rod. I was told, "Stand up and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count those who worship there.

But don't measure the courtyard outside the Temple. Leave that out, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the Holy City for 42 months.

Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen inside his Temple. There were flashes of lightning, noises, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

Another angel came out of the Temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one who sat on the cloud, "Swing your sickle, and gather the harvest, for the hour has come to gather it, because the harvest of the earth is fully ripe."

Then another angel came out of the Temple in heaven. He, too, had a sharp sickle.

After these things, I looked, and the Temple, which is the Tent of Testimony in heaven, was open!

The seven angels with the seven plagues came out of the Temple wearing clean, shining linen with gold sashes around their chests.

The Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and his power, and no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels came to an end.

Then I heard a loud voice from the Temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth."

The seventh angel threw the contents of his bowl across the sky. A loud voice came from the throne in the Temple and said, "It has happened!"

I saw no temple in it, because the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are its temple.
