Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters. So he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money of the money-changers, and overturned their tables, read more.
And said to the pigeon-dealers: "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's House into a market-house." His disciples remembered that Scripture said--'Zeal for thy House will consume me.' Upon this the Jews asked Jesus: "What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?" "Destroy this temple," was his answer, "and I will raise it in three days." "This Temple," replied the Jews, "has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to 'raise it in three days'?" But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple. Afterwards, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of Scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken. While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving. But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart, And because he did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.
