John 2:13-22

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

13 ^aAnd the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus ^bwent up to Jerusalem. 14 ^aAnd He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling ^athe doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making ^bMy Father’s house a ¹place of business.” 17 His ^adisciples remembered that it was written, “^bZeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 ^aThe Jews then said to Him, “^bWhat sign do You show us ¹as your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “^aDestroy this ¹sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 ^aThe Jews then said, “It took ^bforty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking about ^athe sanctuary of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His ^adisciples ^bremembered that He said this; and they believed ^cthe Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
