14 And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting: 15 and having made a scourge of cords, He cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the money of the exchangers, and over-turned the tables. 16 And He said to those selling doves; Take these things hence, make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise. 17 And His disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house doth eat me up. 18 Then the Jews responded and said to Him, What sign do you show us, because you do these things? 19 Jesus responded and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up. 20 Then the Jews said, Forty and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But He spoke concerning the temple of His body. 22 Then when He arose from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said these things, and believed the Scripture and words which Jesus spoke. 23 And when He was in Jerusalem at the feast, during the passover, many believed on His name, seeing His miracles which He was doing; 24 and Jesus did not intrust Himself to them because He knows all men, 25 and because He had no need that any one should witness concerning man; because He was knowing what was in man.
