Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts.

And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart.

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money- changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.

And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.

We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
