John 2:13 - 22
John 2:13
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And
found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and
the changers of money sitting:
15
And 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;
16
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these
things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17
And his disciples remembered that it was written, THE
ZEAL OF THINE HOUSE HATH EATEN ME UP. ? 1
18 Then
answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us,
seeing that thou doest these things?
19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But
he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When
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.
