Exodus 20:1-17 The Lord God seals his covenant with the Israelites, in the third month of their flight from Egypt into the wilderness. Through Moses he delivers to them the ‘Ten Commandments’, laws governing their relationship with God and with each other. I Corinthians 1:18-25 Paul has urged the Corinthians not to form factions by following different leaders. Traditional Jews and Greeks demanded signs or intellectual wisdom, but our main focus must be on the crucified and risen Christ. The power and wisdom of God set aside for all human cleverness and strength. John 2:13-22 Jesus enters the Temple at Jerusalem during the Passover, an annual ritual observed by Jews to ‘relive’ their deliverance from Egypt. He is outraged at the temple-based profiteering practices, exploiting the poor in the name of religion, and drives them from the Temple. His challenging words “destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”, are not understood by the Jewish leaders.
