  GospeL Verses ~ John 2:13-25

13 - Soon it would be Passover and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were buying and selling, and the money-changers sitting at tables. 15 Making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple! Along with the sheep and oxen that were being sold, and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 He told those selling pigeons, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father's house a house of merchandise!” 17 His disciples, seeing this, were reminded of how it was written, “I will be filled with zeal for your house.” 18 So the leaders and those doing business said, “What sign will you show us, that you have authority to do these things?” 19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 They then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple! And you will raise it up in three days?!” 21 But he was speaking of his own self and body. 22 Later when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and what he had said. 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in him when they saw the miracles he was working. 24 But Jesus on his part didn’t entrust himself to them. 25 He didn’t need anyone to tell him what people (mankind) can be like, for he already knew that.

                   ~ 2 Corinthians 10:7-18

7 - Look at what is before your eyes. (Real good advice for prophecy too.) If anyone is confident that they are Christ's followers, let them not forget that we are as well. 8 For even if I do seem to act the authority, which the Lord gave for building you up - not for tearing you down. So I’m not ashamed of that authority. 9 I don’t mean to be frightening you with my letters. 10 Yet someone will say, “His letters are heavy and forceful, but his presence is weak! And his speech of no account.” 11 Let such understand that what we say by letter, we mean when in person as well. 12 Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending theirselves. For if we approve ourselves by competing among ourselves, it shows a lack of understanding. 13 For we can only have confidence in that which God has assigned to each one of us, a confidence however that spreads. (Like ripples in a pond?) 14 We were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. 15 And we mustn’t boast in the labors of others as though they are our own. (Which some had come to Corinth and were doing?) But our hope is that as your faith grows, so will our scope of influence, 16 that we may preach the message (gospel/good news) in lands beyond you, without claiming the work done already by others. 17 “Let the one who boasts, boast about the Lord!” 18 For it doesn’t matter who may boast on their own behalf, but it’s the Lord’s approval that matters.

         Mark 11:11-19

11 - After entering Jerusalem, Jesus went into the temple and looked around at everything. But since it was already late in the day, he went back to Bethany with the twelve disciples. (Memories, accounts, always differ.) 12 The next morning as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it. 15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of thieves”. 18 The chief priests (leaders) and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. 19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. (Gathering tension? Sense of foreboding in the air?)

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

       ~ Galatians 3:8-15 ~

8 Long ago, the Scriptures said God would accept the Gentiles because of their faith. This is why God told Abraham the good news, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” (Gen.22:18) 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 10 But the one who tries to please God by obeying the Law is under a curse. For it’s written, "Everyone who doesn't obey everything in the Law is under a curse." (Well demonstrated when we try to diet or quit a habit.) 11 Now it is clear that no one is justified with God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.” 13 But Christ rescued us from the Law's curse, when he became a curse in our place. This is because the Scriptures say that anyone who is nailed to a tree is cursed. 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the nations with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that believers receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. (“Not of works/law, LEST anyone should boast” Eph.2:9. God’s Spirit with us and in us, is what gives success, and is the new wine that goes with our daily bread.) 15 To give a human example brothers and sisters [adelphos - from a same parent] even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. [Or - “My friends, I will use an everyday example to explain what I mean. Once someone agrees to something, no one else can come along and change or cancel the agreement.”]
