John 2:14-20

¹⁴In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves; and money-changers sitting at their tables.

¹⁵He made a whip out of cords and drove everyone out of the Temple, along with the sheep and cattle, scattering coins of the money-changers and turning over their tables.

¹⁶He ordered the dove-sellers, “Take these things out of here! Don't turn my Father's house into a market!”

¹⁷His disciples remembered the Scripture that says, “My devotion for your house is like a fire burning inside me!”

¹⁸The Jewish leaders reacted, asking him, “What right do you have to do this? Show us some miraculous sign to prove it!”

¹⁹Jesus replied, “Destroy this Temple, and in three days I'll raise it up!”

²⁰“It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to raise it up in three days?” the Jewish leaders replied.
