Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in the temple (at jerusalem) at the feast of dedication
And it was the feast of dedication in Jerusalem: and it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded Him, and said to Him, How long do you take away our soul? read more.
If thou art the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus responded, I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand. The Father, who has given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of the hand of the Father. I and the Father are one. Again the Jews took up stones, that they might stone Him. Jesus responded to them, I have shown unto you many beautiful works from the Father; on account of which of these do you stone me? The Jews responded to Him, We do not stone Thee for good work, but for blasphemy; because Thou, being a man, art making Thyself God. And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture is not able to be broken), whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say; Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. If I do, believe not me, believe the works: that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. They sought again to take Him: and He passed out of their hand.

Again He says to him a second time, Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me with divine love? He says to Him; Thou knowest that I love thee as a friend. He says to him; Shepherdize my sheeplings. He says to him a third time; Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me as a friend? Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time, Do you love me as a friend? And he says to Him, Lord, thou knowest all things; and thou dost understand that I love thee as a friend. He says to Him, Feed my sheeplings.
Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All so many as came were thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: if any one may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come out, and find pasture. read more.
The thief does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them: because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd; I know mine, and mine know me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul for the sheep. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves Me, because I lay down my soul, that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and power to receive it again. I received this commandment from my Father. Again there was a schism among the Jews on account of these words. Then many of them were saying, He has a demon, and is gone mad; why do you hear Him? Others were saying, These are not the words of a demonized man. Whether is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?

They come again into Jerusalem. And He walking round in the temple, the high priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him; and they said to Him, By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority that you may do them?

Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? answer me. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, It is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him? But if we may say, From men; they feared the people: for all held John that he was a prophet. And responding they say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

And Jesus responding spoke, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David? For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, the Lord said unto my Lord; Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet! Then David himself calls Him Lord; and whence is He his son? And the great multitude were hearing Him delightfully. read more.
And He said to them in His teaching, Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and salutations in the forums, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers. They are those devouring the houses of widows, and making long prayers through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment. And He sitting in front of the treasury, was seeing how the multitudes are casting their money into the treasury. And many rich people were casting in much. And one poor widow was casting in two mites, which is a farthing. And calling His disciples to Him, He says to them, Truly I say unto you, That this poor widow has cast in more than all those casting into the treasury. For all they of that which abounds unto them cast in; but she of her scarcity cast in all things so many as she had, all her living.

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me: but in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.

And after these things, Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou hast been made whole: sin no more, lest something worse may come on thee. And the man departed, and said to the Jews, that Jesus is the one having made him whole. And on account of this the Jews continued to persecute Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. read more.

But the feast already being midway, Jesus came up into the temple, and was teaching. Then the Jews marveled, saying; How does this one know letters, never having been taught? Then Jesus responded to them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but of Him that sent me; read more.
if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself. He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me? And the multitude responded, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished. Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath? Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment. Then certain ones of Jerusalemites were saying, Is not this He whom they wished to kill? And behold He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Whether do the rulers truly know that He is the Christ? But we know Him whence He is: but when Christ may come, no one knows whence He is. Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You indeed know me, and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but the one sending me is true, whom you do not know.
