1 Corinthians 1:18, 21-25<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
18 <\/sup>For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 21 <\/sup>For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. 22 <\/sup>For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23<\/sup> but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 <\/sup>but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 <\/sup>For God\u2019s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God\u2019s weakness is stronger than human strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGospel
John 2:13-22<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
13 <\/sup>The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 <\/sup>In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money-changers seated at their tables. 15 <\/sup>Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables. 16 <\/sup>He told those who were selling the doves, \u2018Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father\u2019s house a market-place!\u2019 17 <\/sup>His disciples remembered that it was written, \u2018Zeal for your house will consume me.\u2019 18 <\/sup>The Jews then said to him, \u2018What sign can you show us for doing this?\u2019 19 <\/sup>Jesus answered them, \u2018Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.\u2019 20 <\/sup>The Jews then said, \u2018This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?\u2019 21 <\/sup>But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22 <\/sup>After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThanks be to God!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caring Enough to Get Angry First ReadingExodus 20:1-17 1 Then God spoke all these words: 2 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;
