John 2:15-22

¹⁵And having made a scourge of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the money of the exchangers, and overthrew the tables;

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

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?

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

²⁰Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²²When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
