Paragraph 1. JESUS AND ISRAEL
586
Far from having been hostile to the Temple, where he gave the essential part of
his teaching, Jesus was willing to pay the Temple-tax, associating with him
Peter, whom he had just made the foundation of his future Church.359 He
even identified himself with the Temple by presenting himself as God’s
definitive dwelling-place among men.360 Therefore his being put to
bodily death361 presaged the destruction of the Temple, which would
manifest the dawning of a new age in the history of salvation: “The hour
is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the
Father.”362
