In the Temple
John 5:1-18
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.…


Not in the market; and there Jesus met him who had not known Him in the crowd. Jesus escapes from the crowd, but He finds us and is found by us in the temple. God is seen in solitude; the multitude makes a din around us and hides Him from us. The Divine vision demands religious retirement and holy peace in His house, apart from the strife of tongues.

(Bp. Wordsworth.)
