And He sitting in front of the treasury, was seeing how the multitudes are casting their money into the treasury. And many rich people were casting in much. And one poor widow was casting in two mites, which is a farthing.

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself. He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me? And the multitude responded, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished. Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath? Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment. Then certain ones of Jerusalemites were saying, Is not this He whom they wished to kill? And behold He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Whether do the rulers truly know that He is the Christ? But we know Him whence He is: but when Christ may come, no one knows whence He is.

The Father, who has given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of the hand of the Father. I and the Father are one. Again the Jews took up stones, that they might stone Him. Jesus responded to them, I have shown unto you many beautiful works from the Father; on account of which of these do you stone me? The Jews responded to Him, We do not stone Thee for good work, but for blasphemy; because Thou, being a man, art making Thyself God. And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture is not able to be broken), whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say; Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. If I do, believe not me, believe the works: that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Ahijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.

And it came to pass, while he was officiating in the order of his course before God, (according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to offer incense), having gone into the temple of the Lord; and all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense; the angel of the Lord appeared unto him standing on the right hand of the altar of incense: and Zacharias was troubled seeing him, and fear fell on him. And the angel said to him; Fear not, Zacharias; because thy prayer has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John. And there shall be joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall not drink wine and strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from the womb of his mother. And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God. And he will go before Him in the spirit and Power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient unto the understanding of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord. And Zacharias said to the angel: According to what shall I know this? for I am old and my wife advanced in her days. And the angel responding said to him; I am Gabriel standing in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to you and to preach to you these things. And behold thou shalt be dumb and unable to speak, unto the day upon which these things may take place; because thou didst not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time. And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering because he tarries in the temple. And having come out he was unable to speak to them; and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them and remained dumb. And it came to pass when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went away to his own house.
