John 2:12-22

12After this He went down to 1Capernaum, He and His 2mother, and His 3brothers and His 4disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

135The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus 6went up to Jerusalem. 147And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15And He made a whip of 8cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16and to those who were selling 9the doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making 10My Father’s house a 11place of business!” 17His 12disciples remembered that it was written: “13Zeal for Your house will consume me.” 1814The Jews then said to Him, “15What sign do You show us 16as Your authority for doing these things?” 19Jesus answered them, “17Destroy this 18temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 2019The Jews then said, “It took 20forty-six years to build this 21temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?” 21But He was speaking about 22the 23temple of His body. 22So when He was raised from the dead, His 24disciples 25remembered that He said this; and they believed 26the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
