Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in jerusalem at the feast of tabernacles
Now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews were astonished, and said: How has this man a knowledge of letters, having never been taught? Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. read more.
If any one will do his will, he shall know with respect to the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself. He who speaks of himself, seeks his own glory; he who seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and not one of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said: You have a demon: who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them: I have done one work, and you are all astonished on account of this. Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I have restored the entire man to health on the sabbath-day? Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of the men of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? and, lo, he is speaking boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers really learned that this is the Christ? But we know this man, whence he is. But when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. Then Jesus cried out in the temple, as he was teaching, and said: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you know not. But I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me. Then they sought to take him; yet no one laid his hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. And many of the multitude believed on him, and said: When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this man has done? The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent attendants to take him. Then Jesus said to them: Yet a little while I am with you, and I go away to him that sent me. You will seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you can not come. Then the Jews said among themselves: Whither is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to those who are dispersed among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks? What means this saying which he uttered, You will seek me, and will not find me; and, Where I am you can not come? On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, from his inner self shall flow rivers of living water. But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe on him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. Therefore, many of the multitude, when they had heard this word, said: This is, in truth, the prophet. Others said: This is the Christ. But others said: Does the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was? So there was a division among the multitude because of him. And some of them desired to take him; but no one laid hands on him. Then came the attendants to the chief priests and the Pharisees; and they said to them: Why have you not brought him? The attendants answered: Never did man speak like this man. Then the Pharisees answered them: Are you also deceived? Has any one of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this multitude that know not the law are cursed. Nicodemus said to them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them): Does our law condemn a man unless it first hear from him, and know what he does? They answered and said to him: Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee arises no prophet. And every one departed to his own house.

Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
And they came again into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders, and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things? And Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. read more.
Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him? But if we say, From men, they feared the people; for all regarded John as a prophet indeed. And they answered and said to Jesus: We do not know. And Jesus answering, said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus, as he was teaching in the temple, answered and said: How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. David himself, then, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the great multitude heard him with pleasure. read more.
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers; who eat up the houses of widows, and, as a pretext, make long prayers: these shall receive more abundant condemnation. And Jesus, sitting opposite the treasury, observed how the multitude threw money into the treasury. And many rich persons threw in much. And there came one poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury. For all have thrown in out of their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has thrown in all that she had, her whole living.

I was daily with you in the temple, and taught, and you did not take me; but this is so, that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health. And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath. read more.

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. read more.
But you believe not, because you 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 eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void,) do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, 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, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.
