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

¹³ And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers seated: ¹⁵ and having made a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and scattered the money of the exchangers, and overturned the tables; ¹⁶ and said to those who sold doves, Take these hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

¹⁷ Then the disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up."

¹⁸ The Jews then addressed him, and said to him, What miracle shewest thou, seeing thou actest thus?

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Pull down this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again.

²⁰ Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days?

²¹ Now he had spoken with reference to the temple of his own body. ²² When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³ Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did. ²⁴ But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.
