If any one will do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or whether I speak from myself. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this [man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you performs the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered, You have a demon; who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them, I performed one work and you all wonder. 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, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man entirely sound on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge a righteous judgment. Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? And behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers at length 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, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not;

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 nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a 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 came, and the Scripture cannot be broken, do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not my Father's works, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

In the days of Herod the king of Judea, there was a certain priest by the name of Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

And they had no son, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. read more.
And when he was performing the priest's office in the order of his class before God, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord to burn incense; and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of incense. And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense; and Zachariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son; and you shall call his name John. And he shall be to you a joy and rejoicing; and many shall rejoice at his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall not drink wine and strong drink, but shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his birth; and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. And Zachariah said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years. And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to tell you this good news. And behold you shall be silent, and not able to speak, till the day these things are accomplished; because you have not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time. And the people waited for Zachariah, and wondered that he staid so long in the temple. And when he came out he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and continued dumb. And when the days of his service were completed he departed to his house.

And when Elizabeth's time to bear had fully come, she bore a son; and her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy to her, and congratulated her. And they came on the eighth day to circumcise the little child, and called it by the name of its father, Zachariah. read more.
