John 2: 13 – 25

¹³And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. ¹⁵And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew. ¹⁶And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic. ¹⁷And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. ¹⁸The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things? ¹⁹Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰The Jews then said: Six and forty 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 was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said. ²³Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. ²⁴But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, ²⁵And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
