“ Why were you searching for me?” he asked.“ Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

And he said to them,“ Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

“ But why did you need to search?” he asked.“ Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

“ Why were you searching for me?” he asked them.“ Didn’t you know that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house?”

The Lord who rules over all says,“ I will send my messenger. He will prepare my way for me. Then suddenly the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant will come. He is the one you long for.”

The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.”

I have not come down from heaven to do what I want to do. I have come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.

My God, I have come to do what you want. Your law is in my heart.”

Jesus defended himself. He said to them,“ My Father is always doing his work. He is working right up to this day. I am working too.”

Jesus said,“ My food is to do what my Father sent me to do. My food is to finish his work.

Jesus entered the temple courtyard. He began to drive out all those who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of the people who were exchanging money. He also turned over the benches of those who were selling doves.

He told those who were selling doves,“ Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”His disciples remembered what had been written. It says,“ My great love for your house will destroy me.”( Psalm 69:9)

When his parents saw him, they were amazed. His mother said to him,“ Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried about you. We have been looking for you everywhere.”

While it is still day, we must do the works of the one who sent me. Night is coming. Then no one can work.
