- 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."
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
