John 2:12-25
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
12:
13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
13:
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
14:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
15:
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
16:
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
17:
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
18:
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
19:
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
20:
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
21:
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
22:
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast [day], many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
23:
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men],
24:
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
25:
