JOHN 2:13-25

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?

¹⁹Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹But he spake of the temple of his body.

²²When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

²³Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.

²⁴But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

²⁵and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
