12AfterG3326 thisG3778 He wentG2597 downG2597 to 1CapernaumG2746, He and His 2motherG3384 and His 3brothersG80 and His 4disciplesG3101; and they stayedG3306 thereG1563 a fewG3756 G4183 daysG2250.

13 5The PassoverG3957 of the JewsG2453 was nearG1451, and JesusG2424 6wentG305 up to JerusalemG2414. 14 7And He foundG2147 in the templeG2413 thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 oxenG1016 and sheepG4263 and dovesG4058, and the moneyG2773 changersG2773 seatedG2521 at their tables. 15And He madeG4160 a scourgeG5416 of cordsG4979, and droveG1544 them allG3956 out of the templeG2413, with the sheepG4263 and the oxenG1016; and He pouredG1632 out the coinsG2772 of the moneyG2855 changersG2855 and overturnedG396 their tablesG5132; 16and to thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 8the dovesG4058 He saidG3004, “TakeG142 theseG3778 thingsG3778 awayG142; stopG3361 makingG4160 9My Father’sG3962 houseG3624 a 10placeG3624 of businessG1712.” 17His 11disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 that it was writtenG1125, “12ZealG2205 for Your houseG3624 will consumeG2719 me.” 18 13The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to Him, “14WhatG5101 signG4592 do You showG1166 us 15as your authority for doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778?” 19JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “16DestroyG3089 thisG3778 17templeG3485, and in threeG5140 daysG2250 I will raiseG1453 it up.” 20 18The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004, “It took 19forty-sixG5065 G2532 G1803 yearsG2094 to buildG3618 thisG3778 20templeG3485, and will You raiseG1453 it up in threeG5140 daysG2250?” 21But He was speakingG3004 of 21the 22templeG3485 of His bodyG4983. 22SoG3767 whenG3753 He was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, His 23disciplesG3101 24rememberedG3403 that He saidG3004 thisG3778; and they believedG4100 25the ScriptureG1124 and the wordG3056 whichG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG3004.
