Joh 2:13  When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 

Joh 2:14  In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 

Joh 2:15  So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 

Joh 2:16  To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!" 

Joh 2:17  His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me." 

Joh 2:18  The Jews then responded to him, "What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?" 

Joh 2:19  Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." 

Joh 2:20  They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" 

Joh 2:21  But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 

Joh 2:22  After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
