Book of Common Prayer

¹² Be fighting the good fight of faith. Take-hold-of eternal life, into which you were called, and confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ¹³ I command you in the sight of God, the One giving-life-to all things, and Christ Jesus, the One having testified the good confession before^[a] Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that you keep the commandment unspotted, above-reproach, until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which in His^[b] own times, the blessed and only Ruler will show^[c]— the King of the ones being-kings^[d] and Lord of the ones being-lords^[e], ¹⁶ the only One having immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, Whom none of mankind saw nor is able to see, to Whom be honor and eternal dominion, amen.

Jesus Cleanses The Temple And Accepts Praises From Boys. The Chief Priests Object

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple. And He threw-out all the ones selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers^[a] and the seats of the ones selling the doves^[b]. ¹³ And He says to them, “It has been written [in Isa 56:7]: ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’. But you are making it a den of robbers^[c]”. ¹⁴ And blind ones and lame ones came to Him in the temple, and He cured them. ¹⁵ But the chief priests and the scribes— having seen the marvelous things which He did, and the boys^[d] crying-out in the temple and saying “Hosanna to the Son of David”— were indignant ¹⁶ and said to Him, “Do You hear what these boys are saying?” And Jesus says to them, “Yes— did you never read [in Ps 8:2] that ‘You prepared-Yourself praise out of the mouth^[e] of children and nursing ones’?” ¹⁷ And having left them behind, He went outside of the city to Bethany and spent-the-night there.
