He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”

This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

Then Haggai, Yahweh’s messenger, spoke Yahweh’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says Yahweh.

For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Armies.

Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel.”

You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

Oh that you were like my brother, who nursed from the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.

Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us,

For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.

He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them.

Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
