14 And he found in the temple those who were buying oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting. 15 And he made a whip of cord, and drove them all out of the temple, even the sheep and the oxen and the money changers; and he threw out their exchange money, and upset their trays; 16 And to those who sold doves he said, Take these away from here; do not make my Father’s house a house of trading. 17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal for your house has given me courage. 18 The Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, that you are doing these things? 19 Jesus answered and said to them, Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 The Jews said to him, It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days? 21 But he spoke concerning the temple of his body. 22 When he rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scriptures and the word which Jesus had said. 23 Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, a great many believed in him, because they saw the miracles which he did. 24 But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he understood every man. 25 And he needed no man to testify to him concerning any man; for he knew well what was in man.
