03:06a reading from the prophet Ezekiel
03:10the angel brought me to the entrance of the temple where a stream came out from under the temple threshold
03:17and flowed eastwards since the temple faced east
03:21the water flowed from under the right side of the temple south of the altar
03:27he took me out by the north gate and led me right round outside
03:31as far as the outer east gate where the water flowed out on the right hand side
03:38he said this water flows east down to the araba and to the sea and flowing into the sea it makes its waters wholesome
03:47wherever the river flows all living creatures steaming in it will live
03:52fish will be very plentiful for wherever the water goes it brings health and life teams wherever the river flows
04:02along the river on either bank will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails
04:11they will bear new fruit every month because this water comes from a century and their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal
04:22the word of the Lord
04:26the waters of the river gladden the city of God

05:29by the grace God gave me
05:31I succeeded as an architect and laid the foundations

05:38everyone doing the building must work carefully
05:41for the foundation
05:43nobody can lay any other
05:45than the one which has already been laying
05:48that is Jesus Christ
05:51didn't you realize that you were God's temple

06:26a reading from the Holy Gospel according to John
06:31just before the Jewish Passover
06:35Jesus went up to Jerusalem
06:37and in the temple
06:38he found people selling cattle and sheep and pigeons
06:42and the money changers sitting at their counters there
06:46making a whip out of some cord
06:49he drove them all out of the temple
06:51cattle and sheep as well

07:33to build the sanctuary
07:34are you going to raise it up in three days
07:38but he was speaking
07:40of the sanctuary
