John 2:13-25 (D)

John 2:13-25

2:13

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem .

2:14

In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.

2:15

So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

2:16

To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"

2:17

His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me."

2:18

Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"

2:19

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

2:20

The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?"

2:21

But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

2:22

After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

2:23

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name.

2:24

But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.

2:25

He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.
