John 2:13-25 - Jesus Throws Merchants And Moneychangers Out Of The Temple Courtyard

13 And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem. 14 And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting. 15 And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money-changers' small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned; 16 and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said - Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.

17 His disciples remembered that it was written - The zeal of thy house, eateth me up.

18 The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?

19 Jesus answered, and said unto them - Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.

20 The Jews, therefore, said - In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!

21 But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body. 22 When, therefore, he had been raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered, that, this, he had been saying; and they believed in the Scripture, and in the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 Now, when he was in Jerusalem, during the passover, during the feast, many, believed on his name, viewing his signs which he was doing. 24 Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all, 25 and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.
