- The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
- And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
- And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;
- and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business."
- His disciples remembered that it was written, "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

- When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
- In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
- So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
- To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"
- His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me."
|
- The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"
- Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
- The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
- But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
- So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
|
- Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"
- Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."
- The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?"
- But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
- After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
|
- Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.
- But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
- and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
|
- Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name.
- But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.
- He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.
