Now the Jewish passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. There he found, seated inside the temple, dealers in cattle, sheep and pigeons, also money-changers. Making a scourge of cords, he drove them all, sheep and cattle together, out of the temple, scattered the coins of the brokers and upset their tables, read more.
and told the pigeon-dealers, "Away with these! My Father's house is not to be turned into a shop!" (His disciples recalled the scripture saying, I am consumed with zeal for thy house.) Then the Jews accosted him with the words, "What sign of authority have you to show us, for acting in this way?" Jesus replied, "Destroy this sanctuary and I will raise it up in three days." "This sanctuary took forty-six years to build," the Jews retorted, "and you are going to raise it up in three days!" He meant the sanctuary of his body, however, and when the disciples recalled what he had said, after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the scripture and the word of Jesus. When he was in Jerusalem at the festival of the passover, many people believed in his name, as they witnessed the Signs which he performed. Jesus, however, would not trust himself to them; he knew all men, and required no evidence from anyone about human nature; well did he know what was in human nature.
