The Jewish (leaders) responded ‘What sign can you show us to explain why you are doing these things?’ Jesus replied: ‘Even if you tear down this sanctuary, I will raise it in three days.’ So the Jews said to him: This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you, in three days, will raise it, will you?’ (He said this about the sanctuary of his body. So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and trusted in the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.)

O Lord Jesus Christ,
stay beside me to defend me,
within me to guide me,
before me to lead me,
and above me to bless me,
that with you and in you,
I may live, and move and have my being,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
