14 1And withinG1722 the templeG2413 grounds He foundG2147 thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 oxenG1016, sheepG4263, and dovesG4058, and the moneyG2773 changersG2773 seatedG2521 at their tables. 15And He madeG4160 a whipG5416 of 2cordsG4979, and droveG1544 them allG3956 outG1544 of the templeG2413 area, with the sheepG4263 and the oxenG1016; and He pouredG1632 outG1632 the coinsG2772 of the moneyG2855 changersG2855 and overturnedG396 their tablesG5132; 16and to thoseG3588 who were sellingG4453 3the dovesG4058 He saidG3004, “TakeG142 theseG3778 thingsG3778 awayG142 fromG1782 hereG1782; stopG3361 makingG4160 4My Father’sG3962 houseG3624 a 5placeG3624 of businessG1712!” 17His 6disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 that it was writtenG1125: “7ZealG2205 for Your houseG3624 will consumeG2719 me.” 18 8The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to Him, “9WhatG5101 signG4592 do You showG1166 us 10as Your authority for doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778?” 19JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “11DestroyG3089 thisG3778 12templeG3485, and in threeG5140 daysG2250 I will raiseG1453 it upG1453.” 20 13The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004, “It took 14forty-sixG5065 G2532 G1803 yearsG2094 to buildG3618 thisG3778 15templeG3485, and yet You will raiseG1453 it upG1453 in threeG5140 daysG2250?” 21But He was speakingG3004 aboutG4012 16the 17templeG3485 of His bodyG4983. 22SoG3767 whenG3753 He was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, His 18disciplesG3101 19rememberedG3403 that He saidG3004 thisG3778; and they believedG4100 20the ScriptureG1124 and the wordG3056 whichG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG3004.
