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?

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.

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.
