Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews marveled, saying, "How did this man get such learning, having never studied?" Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. read more.
If anyone is willing to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own authority. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?" The people answered, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?" Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel. Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment." Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? Here he is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is the Christ? But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. But I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me." Then they sought to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. And many of the people believed in him, and they said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?" The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest him. Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me. You will seek me, and you will not find me; where I am you cannot come." The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? What does he mean when he said, 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?" On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. When they heard these words, some of the people said, "Surely this is the prophet." Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come from Galilee? Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?" So there was a division among the people because of him. Some of them wanted to seize him, but no one laid hands on him. The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?" The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" The Pharisees answered them, "Are you deceived, you also? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed." Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them, "Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he is doing?" They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee." Then each went to his own house.

And Jesus said, while he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand till I put your enemies under your feet."' Therefore David himself calls him 'Lord'; how is he then his son?" And the common people heard him gladly. read more.
And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation." And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many people who were rich put in large sums. And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in everythingall she had to live on."

and Jesus was in the temple, walking in Solomon's Porch. So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

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.
