John 2:13-25
|
2:13
|
When it was
almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to
|
|
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
|
|
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.
