Jesus answered him. "I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, places where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
Once more they came into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the high priests and Scribes and elders and asked him.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me!" Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why then did you not believe him?" On the other hand, if we say, 'From men'!" They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that John had been really a prophet. So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."

While he was teaching in the Temple courts, Jesus in his turn asked. "How is it that the Scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes the footstool of thy feet.' "David himself then calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?" Now the great mass of the people were wont to listen to him with delight; read more.
and in his teaching he said: "Look out for the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and to receive salutations in the street, and to have prominent places in the synagogues, and seats of honor at dinner-parties; they who consume the property of widows and make long, pretentious prayers. The greater shall their condemnation be." Then Jesus took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums. There came also a poor widow who dropped in two little coins, worth a cent. On this he called his disciples to him, and said: "I tell you solemnly that this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their offerings into the treasury; for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."

Day after day I was face to face with you in the Temple courts, teaching, and you did not seize me. But this is done that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him. "Look! You have become well. Do not go on sinning, lest a worse thing befall you."

"I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One. In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me.

"If any one wills to do God's will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth." "The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him. "Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?" The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?" Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed. "Consider, therefore, Moses has given you circumcision??ot that Moses originated it, but the fathers??nd you are accustomed to circumcise a child even on the Sabbath. "If a child receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath? "Do not judge according to appearance. Judge justly." Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill? "And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ? "But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from." So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said: "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.

Witness » God the father giving witness to jesus Christ
For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty. For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight; and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill.
Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." While he was yet speaking, behold! a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and a voice out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom is my delight. Listen to him."
"Master," said Peter, addressing Jesus, "it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (For he did not know what to say, they were so awestruck.) Then there came a cloud overshadowing them; and there came a voice out of the cloud. "This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to him."
And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"??ot knowing what he was saying.

"This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to him."
"Men of Israel, listen to these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you by God, through mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, as you yourselves know;
"in order that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. "I tell you solemnly that he who listens to my messages and believes Him who sent me, has eternal life. He will not come under condemnation, but has passed out of death into life.
