And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he walked in the temple, there came to him the high priests, and the scribes, and the elders, and said unto him, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority, to do these things?"

The baptism of John: was it from heaven, or of men? Answer me." And they thought in themselves, saying, "If we shall say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did ye not believe him?' But if we shall say, 'Of men,' then fear we the people. For all men counted John, that he was a very prophet." And they answered, and said unto Jesus, "We cannot tell."

These shall receive greater damnation." And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people put money into the treasury. And many that were rich, cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury. For they all did cast in of their superfluity: But she of her poverty, did cast in all that she had, even all her living."

And after that, Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, "Behold, thou art made whole: see thou sin no more, lest a worse thing happen unto thee." The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God: or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own praise. But he that seeketh his praise that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you a law? And yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?" The people answered and said, "Thou hast the devil. Who goeth about to kill thee?" Jesus answered, and said unto them, "I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision without breaking of the law of Moses: Disdain ye at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day? Judge not after the outer appearance: but judge righteous judgment." Then said some of them of Jerusalem, "Is not this he whom they go about to kill? Behold, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know, indeed, that this is very Christ? Howbeit, we know this man whence he is, but when Christ cometh, no man shall know whence he is."

Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life: and shall not come into damnation, but is escaped from death unto life. Verily, verily I say unto you, the time shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God. And they that hear, shall live. read more.
