John 2:13–25

¹³And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting; ¹⁵and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables, ¹⁶and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. ¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me. ¹⁸The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things? ¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days? ²¹But he spoke of the temple of his body. ²²When therefore he was raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought. ²⁴But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, ²⁵and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
