And in the temple court He found the dealers in cattle, sheep, and pigeons; the money-changers, too, seated at their tables.

So He made a lash out of cords, and drove them all, together with the sheep and cattle, out of the temple court, scattered the money-changers' coins and upset their tables.

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple court, and said to him, "See! You are now well. Stop sinning or something worse may befall you."

Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach.

So Jesus, as He was teaching in the temple, cried out, "Yes, you do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come on my own authority, but the One who has sent me exists as the Real One, whom you do not know.

Early the next morning, He had come into the temple again, and all the people were gathering around Him. Having sat down, He began to teach them.

He said these things in the treasury as He was teaching in the temple, and yet no one ventured to arrest Him, because the time had not yet come for Him.

At this the Jews took up stones to stone Him, but Jesus made His way out of the temple unperceived.

So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? Do you think He will not come to the feast at all?"

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world; I have always taught in the synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews are in the habit of meeting, and I have not spoken anything in secret.
