And the eye of their God was upon the captivity of the Jews, and they caused them not to cease till the account went to Darius: and then they will return a letter concerning this. The copy of the epistle that Tatnai, prefect beyond the river, sent, and Shethar-Bozni and his colleagues, the Apharsachites, that were beyond the river to Darius the king: They sent an epistle to him, thus it was written in the midst of it: To Darius the king, all peace. To be known to the king that we went to the Judah province, to the house of the great God; and it was building with stone of rolling, and wood being set up in the walls; and this work being diligently done, and prospering in their hands. Then we asked these old men, thus we said to them, Who set to you a decree to build this house and to complete this wall? And also we asked their names for them to make known to thee that we shall write the name of the men that were among their heads. And thus they returned us word, saying, We are the servants of the God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built of old these many years, and a great king to Israel built and completed. Therefore after our fathers provoked to the God of the heavens to be angry, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and the people he carried away in exile to Babel. But in one year to Cyrus the king of Babel, Cyrus the king set up a decree to build this house of God. And also the vessels of the house of God of gold and of silver, that Nebuchadnezzar brought forth from the temple that is in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babel, Cyrus the king brought them forth from the temple of Babel, and they were given to Sheshbazzar his name that he set up prefect; And he said to him, Lift up these vessels, go bring them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and the house of God shall be built upon its place. Then this Sheshbazzar came, he set the foundations of the house of God that is in Jerusalem: and from that time even till now, being built and not finished. And now if good to the king he shall seek in the house of the king's treasure there that is in Babel, if it be that from Cyrus the king a decree was set up to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the king will send the will to us concerning this.

In one year to Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king set a decree of the house of God in Jerusalem, The house shall be built, the place that they sacrificed sacrifices, and its foundations being erected; its height sixty cubits, and its breadth sixty cubits; And three layers of stone of inagnitude: and a layer of new wood: and the outgoing shall be given from the king's house: And also the vessels of the house of God of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar brought forth from the temple that is in Jerusalem, and brought to Babel, shall be restored, and shall go to the temple that is in Jerusalem, to its place, and be taken into the house of God.

Who being left among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how see ye it now? Is it not in your eyes like it as nothing?


And they will gather their brethren, and they will consecrate themselves, and they will come according to the command of the king in the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

And saying, and they will purify the cells: and I shall turn back there the vessels of the house of God, with the gift and the frankincense.

And he will say to me, Even to evening morning, two thousand and three hundred; and the holy place was justified

Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret.

And they come again to Jerusalem : and he walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to him, And say to him, By what power doest thou these things? and who gave thee this power that thou doest these things ?

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 say, Wherefore did ye not believe him But if we say, Of men; they feared the people : for all held John, that he was truly a prophet. And having answered they say to Jesus, We know not. And Jesus having answered, says to them, Neither say I to you by what power I do these things.

And Jesus having answered, said, teaching in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

And he said to them in his teaching, Look from the scribes, wishing to walk in robes, and greetings in market-places, And first seats in synagogues, and first place at tables in first meals: They eating in widows' houses, and praying long for a pretext: these shall receive more abundant judgment. And Jesus having sat over against the royal treasury, saw how the crowds cast money into the treasury: and many rich cast in much. And one poor widow, having come, cast in two small coins, which is a farthing. And having called his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, That this poor widow has cast into the royal treasury, more than all they casting into the treasury: For all they cast in out of the abundance to them; and she, out of her want, cast in all things which she had, her whole living.

And now the festival being in the midst, Jesus went up to the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, How knows he letters, not having learned Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his having sent me. read more.
If any desire to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak from myself. He speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he seeking the glory of him having sent him, he is true, and no injustice is in him. Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you does the law? Why seek ye to kill me? The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this. Moses has given you circumcision; (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not loosed; rage not at me, because I made a man wholly well on the Sabbath. Judge not according to sight, but judge just judgment. Then said some of the Jerusalemites' Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? And, behold, he speaks in freedom of speech, and they say nothing to him. Not at any time knew the rulers truly, that this is truly Christ? But we know this whence he is: and Christ, when he should come, none knows whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple, teaching, and saying, And ye know me, and ye know whence I am: and I have not come of myself, but he having sent me is true, whom ye know not.

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech.

But ye believe not, for 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 eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given to me, is greater than all; . and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then again lifted up the Jews stones that they might stone him. Jesus Answered them, Many good works I shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do ye stone me The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being 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 writing cannot be loosed; Whom the Father consecrated., and sent into the world, say ye that thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. And if I do, though ye believe me not, believe the works: that ye might know, and believe, that the Father in me, and I in him.
