But you have kept the fine wine until now." |

| 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: | 14In the temple complex He found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and He also found the money changers sitting there. |
| 15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; | 15After making a whip out of cords, He drove everyone out of the temple complex with their sheep and oxen. He also poured out the money changers' coins and overturned the tables. |
| 16And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. | 16He told those who were selling doves, "Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father's house into a marketplace!" |

| 19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. | 19Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it up in three days." |
| 20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? | 20Therefore the Jews said, "This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?" |
| 21But he spake of the temple of his body. | 21But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body. |
| 22When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. | 22So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this.

| 23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. | 23While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many trusted in His name when they saw the signs He was doing. |
| 24But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, | 24Jesus, however, would not entrust Himself to them, since He knew them all |
| 25And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. | 25and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man. |
