John 2:15-20

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, 'Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, 'The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, 'What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?'

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'

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