JOHN 2:11-18

¹¹This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

¹²After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and there they abode not many days.

¹³And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁴And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

¹⁵and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables;

¹⁶and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house shall eat me up.

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
