Then the Judeans replied:
What sign do you show us,
that you do these things?
Jesus replied to them:
Tear down this sanctuary
and in three days I will raise it up.
So the Judeans said
46 years the temple has been being built
and you will raise it up in three days?
-But he said that about the sanctuary of his body.
So that when he was raised up from the dead people,
his disciples remembered that he said this,
and they believed in the scripture
and the word which he said.

And now he was in Jerusalem
at Passover
during the Festival.
Many believed in his name
seeing the signs which he was doing.
But Jesus did not trust himself
to them
because he knew all people
and
because he had no need
for anyone to bear witness
about anyone,
For he knew what was in everyone.

Lord God,
you feed us with the living bread from heaven;
you renew our faith,
increase our hope,
and strengthen our love.

Teach us to hunger
for Christ who is the true and living bread,
and to live by every word
that comes from your mouth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
