FAUSTI - Jesus went up to the temple - Jesus had already gone up there at the first feast, announcing the new temple destroyed and rebuilt, which will be His Body ( 2,16...). The second time He had stopped outside, at the pool in Behzathà ( 5.1...). This third time, without naming Jerusalem, Jesus climbed directly into the temple. He was teaching ... He is the Master, the very Wisdom of God made flesh. We are all disciples. We also speak of the Father who teaches Him to be Son and of the Spirit who teaches us what Jesus said. Jesus is not a normal teacher: He is the Son instructed directly by the Father. More than a teacher, He is an envoy who says what the Other has ordered to Him. He is not a teacher who explains, but One who reveals what has been said to Him, with the very authority of the One who sent Him. Jesus affirms that His teaching is from God. Only those who want to do His will know Him. There is a connection between knowledge and will, between intelligence and love. One knows only what he wants, he understands only what he loves. His interlocutors know the Scriptures, but when God realizes what He has said, they are not able to understand it. His promise is greater than any fame: in fact, the promised gift is He Himself who promises. Either one opens oneself up to welcome Him, the source of life, or one rejects Him, remaining in death. After speaking of Moses and of the Law, Jesus speaks of circumcision, much older than Moses, which dates back to Abraham. If on the Sabbath there is a circumcision without violating the precept, all the more so there is no transgression of the One who saves a man entirely. His adversaries are inconsistent in their indignation against Him. Whoever has a certain conception of law, of God and of man, can only eliminate as a subversive of the established power this Man who proposes a law of freedom... When they see Him speaking in public without hindrance, they doubt that the leaders have changed their minds about Jesus. If before we speak of the origin of His wisdom, now we pass to the origin of His messianic nature. The question is the " from where " of the Messiah, which should be mysterious and unknown, while that of Jesus is well known.
