14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye do not know.
And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do; and ye shall celebrate a feast to Jehovah seven days; and ye shall present a burnt-offering, an offering by fire for a sweet odour to Jehovah: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs (they shall be without blemish);
And on the second day, [ye shall present] twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish;
And on the third day, eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish;
And on the fourth day, ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, -- besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering. And on the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. And on the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offerings. And on the seventh day, seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish; and their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number, according to their ordinance; and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the continual burnt-offering, its oblation and its drink-offering. On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: no manner of servile work shall ye do. And ye shall present a burnt-offering, an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah: one bullock, one ram, seven yearling lambs without blemish; their oblation and their drink-offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number, according to the ordinance; and one he-goat for a sin-offering, -- besides the continual burnt-offering and its oblation and its drink-offering. These shall ye offer to Jehovah in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your oblations, and for your drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings. And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.
and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts.
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 Angel of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts.
In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily [with you] teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.
After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

The chief priests and Pharisees are here in a close cabal, contriving how to suppress Christ; though this was the great day of the feast, they attended not the religious services of the day, but left them to the vulgar, to whom it was common for those great ecclesiastics to consign and turn over the business of devotion, while they thought themselves better employed in the affairs of church-policy. They sat in the council-chamber, expecting Christ to be brought a prisoner to them, as they had issued out warrants for apprehending him, v. 32. Now here we are told,
