Catechism Paragraph

¶ 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 death 361 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
