John 2:12-22
12 |
After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days. |
13 |
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
14 |
And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. |
15 |
When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables. |
16 |
And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" |
17 |
Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up." |
18 |
So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?" |
19 |
Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." |
20 |
Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" |
21 |
But He was speaking of the temple of His body. |
22 |
Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. |
