John 2:12-22

12After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

13And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;

15and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,

16and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

17[And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

18The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

19Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?

21But he spoke of the temple of his body.

22When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
