John 2:16-25 ▼

16 and He said to those selling the doves, “Take these things from here; do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise.”

17 And His disciples remembered that it is written: “The zeal of Your house ate Me up”;

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

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

20 The Jews, therefore, said, “This temple was built [in] forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21 But He spoke concerning the temple of His body;

22 when, then, He was raised out of the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

23 And as He was in Jerusalem, in the Passover, in the celebration, many believed in His Name, beholding His signs that He was doing;

24 and Jesus Himself was not trusting Himself to them, because of His knowing all [men],

25 and because He had no need that any should testify concerning man, for He Himself was knowing what was in man.
