John 2:13-25
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
13 aThe Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus bwent up to Jerusalem. 14 cIn the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make dmy Father’s house a house of trade.” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, e“Zeal for your house will consume me.”18So the Jews said to him, f“What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19Jesus answered them, g“Destroy this temple, and in three days hI will raise it up.” 20The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, ▼
▼Or This temple was built forty-six years ago
and will you raise it up in three days?” 21But he was speaking about jthe temple of his body. 22When therefore he was raised from the dead, khis disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed lthe Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. Jesus Knows What Is in Man
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name mwhen they saw the signs that he was doing. 24But Jesus non his part did not entrust himself to them, because ohe knew all people 25and needed no one to bear witness about man, for phe himself knew what was in man.
