¹⁵And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.

¹⁶And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.

¹⁷And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.

¹⁸The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²²When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said.
