14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,l and others sitting at tables exchanging money.m 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. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s housen into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”c o

18 The Jewsp then responded to him, “What signq can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”r

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”s

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.t 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.u Then they believed the scripturev and the words that Jesus had spoken.
