John 2:13-25 (C)

John 2:13-25

2:13

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem .

2:14

In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.

2:15

So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

2:16

To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"

2:17

His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me."

2:18

Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"

2:19

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

2:20

The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?"

2:21

But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

2:22

After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

2:23

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name.

2:24

But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.

2:25

He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.

Matthew

22:36

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

22:37

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

22:38

This is the first and greatest commandment.

"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

1 John

2:15

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

2:16

For everything in the world¡ªthe cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does¡ªcomes not from the Father but from the world.

Revelation

2:1

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands:

2:2

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.

2:3

You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

2:4

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.

2:5

Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
