John 2:
13- When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, JESUS went up to Jerusalem.
14- In the temple courts HE found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
15- So HE made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; HE scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16- To those who sold doves HE said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning MY FATHER’s HOUSE into a market!”
17- HIS disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for YOUR HOUSE will consume ME.”
18- The Jews then responded to HIM, “What sign can YOU show us to prove YOUR authority to do all this?”
19- JESUS answered them, “Destroy THIS TEMPLE, and I will raise IT again in three days.”
20- They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and YOU are going to raise it in three days?”
21- But THE TEMPLE HE had spoken of was HIS BODY.
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.
23-Now while HE was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs HE was performing and believed in HIS name.
24- But JESUS would not entrust HIMSELF to them, for HE knew all people.
25- HE did not need any testimony about mankind, for HE knew what was in each person.
