So they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

And He taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves.

Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

And when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people approached Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?

The immersion of John; where was it from? From Heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From Heaven, He will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

So they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And He said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him,

and were unable to figure out anything to do; for all the people hung on to hear Him.

And it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, came up

and spoke to Him, saying, Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?

And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the Mount of Olives.

And early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.

Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come from Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.

And Jesus walked 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, and in secret I have said nothing.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David.] i0 par My Mighty God, My Mighty God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, and from the words of My groaning?

But You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

All who see Me mock Me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying,

For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother's breasts.

Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is no one to help.

They have gaped at Me with their mouths, like a tearing and roaring lion.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.

I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.

But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My Strength, make haste to help Me!

Deliver Me from the lion's mouth; from the horns of the oryx. You have answered Me.

You who fear Jehovah, praise Him! All you seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all you seed of Israel!

My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will make good My vows before those who fear Him.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall bow down before You.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, for no one can keep alive his own soul.

They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born, that He has done this.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Deliver me, O God; for the waters have come in upon my soul!

I am weary from my crying; my throat is dried; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

O God, You know my folly, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

because I have borne reproach for Your sake, shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up; and the reproaches of those who reproached You have fallen upon Me.

I also made sackcloth my clothing, and I became a byword to them.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Jehovah, in a favorable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercies hear me, in the truth of Your salvation.

Do not let the flood of waters overflow me, nor let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

And hide not Your face from Your servant; for I am in trouble; hear me speedily.

You have known My reproach, and My shame, and My dishonor; My enemies are all before You.

They also gave Me gall for my food; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; and make their loins shake continually.

Let their dwelling place be desolate; let no one dwell in their tents.

Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into Your righteousness.

But I am lowly and in pain; let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

This also shall please Jehovah better than an ox or a bull that has horns and hooves.

For Jehovah hears the needy, and does not despise His prisoners.

For God will deliver Zion, and will build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.

Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

He is despised and rejected by men; a Man of pain, and knowing infirmity; a hiding of faces; being despised, we have esteemed Him not.

But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.

And His grave was assigned with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.

He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be fulfilled. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

Seventy weeks are decreed regarding your people, and regarding your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.

And after sixty two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with a flood, and desolations are determined, and there shall be war until the end.

How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen this way?

But all this is happening that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: And He was numbered with the transgressors. For the things concerning Me have an end.

Then He said to them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken.

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
