Jesus answered him, I have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing.
And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders; and they said to him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things? And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. read more.
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? But shall we say, From men? They feared the people; for all regarded John as truly a prophet. And they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is Davids son? David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool." David himself calleth him lord; and how can he be his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly. read more.
And he said in his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts; who devour widows houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive a far greater condemnation. And he sat over against the treasury, and was beholding how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich were casting in much. And a certain poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, Truly do I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury. For they all threw in of their abundance; but she out of her penury threw in all that she had, her whole living.

I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye did not lay hands on me; but [thus it is], that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.
Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee. The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. read more.

But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. read more.
If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself. He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness. Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering. Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ? Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is. Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomons porch. Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Fathers name, these bear witness of me. read more.
But ye do not believe, because ye 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 everlasting life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one tear them out of my hand. That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [them] out of the Fathers hand. I and the Father are one. The Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, "I said, ye are gods"? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be made void, say ye of him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, 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 them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
