Gospel of the day

The book of ‭‭Haggai‬ only has two chapters, here's in my opinion the most interesting excerpt, ‭2:10‭-‬19‬ :
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came to Haggai the prophet :
This is what the LORD of heavenly forces says :
Go ahead and ask the priests for a ruling : “If someone lifts holy meat into the hem of one’s garment and that hem touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any kind of food, will it be made holy ?”
And the priests responded, “No.”
Haggai said, “If an unclean person touches any of these things, will it become unclean ?”
And the priests responded, “It will be unclean.”
Then Haggai responded : Thus has this people and this nation become to me, says the LORD, and everything that they do with their hands. Whatever they offer is unclean. So now, take it to heart from this day forward.

‭‭John‬ ‭2:14‭-‬22‬
He found in the temple those who were selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as those involved in exchanging currency sitting there. He made a whip from ropes and chased them all out of the temple, including the cattle and the sheep. He scattered the coins and overturned the tables of those who exchanged currency. He said to the dove sellers, “Get these things out of here ! Don’t make my Father’s house a place of business.”
His disciples remembered that it is written, Passion for your house consumes me.

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things ? What miraculous sign will you show us ?” Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple and in three days I’ll raise it up.”
The Jewish leaders replied, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it up in three days ?”
But the temple Jesus was talking about was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered what he had said

2:10-13 :
In their hearts is a disease(, of doubt and hypocrisy,) and God has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.
And when it is said to them : "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peace-makers."
Verily ! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.
And when it is said to them : "Believe as the people have believed," they say : "Shall we believe as the fools have believed ?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.
