And Jesus saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is Davids son?

And the great multitude heard him gladly. read more.
And he said in his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts; who devour widows houses, and for a pretence make long prayers.

If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.

Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering. Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ? Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is. Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.

But ye do not believe, because ye 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 everlasting life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one tear them out of my hand. That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [them] out of the Fathers hand. I and the Father are one. The Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, "I said, ye are gods"? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be made void, say ye of him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years. read more.
And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course, according to the custom of the priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense. And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense. And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense. And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John. And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.

And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people. And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years. And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings. And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season. And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple. And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless. And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.

Now Elizabeths full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
