³⁹ For when ^(A)they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day ^(B)they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, ^(C)this is what they did in my house.

^4 (A)And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, ^(B)“In Jerusalem will I put my name.”

⁷ in ^(A)admitting foreigners, ^(B)uncircumcised in heart and flesh, to be in my sanctuary, ^(C)profaning my temple, when you offer to me my food, the fat and the blood. You^[a] have broken my covenant, in addition to all your abominations.

Jesus Before Pilate

^28 (A)Then they led Jesus ^(B)from the house of Caiaphas to ^(C)the governor's headquarters.^[a] It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, ^(D)so that they would not be defiled, ^(E)but could eat the Passover.

³⁸ Moreover, this they have done to me: ^(A)they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and ^(B)profaned my Sabbaths.

^15 (A)What right has my beloved in my house, ^(B)when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? ^(C)Can you then exult?

⁸ “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. ^9 (A)Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, ^(B)swear falsely, ^(C)make offerings to Baal, ^(D)and go after other gods that you have not known, ¹⁰ and then come and stand before me in this house, ^(E)which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? ^11 (F)Has this house, ^(G)which is called by my name, ^(H)become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.
