John 2:12-22

12After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

13Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.

15When 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.

16And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

17Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”

18So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”

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

20Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

22Therefore, 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.
