John 2:14-25

14 aIn 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 bmy Father’s house a house of trade.” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, cZeal for your house will consume me.”

18So the Jews said to him, dWhat sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19Jesus answered them, eDestroy this temple, and in three days fI 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 hthe temple of his body. 22When therefore he was raised from the dead, ihis disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed jthe 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 kwhen they saw the signs that he was doing. 24But Jesus lon his part did not entrust himself to them, because mhe knew all people 25and needed no one to bear witness about man, for nhe himself knew what was in man.
