John 2:13-22 New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Clears the Temple Courts

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, â€œGet these out of here! Stop turning my Fatherâ€™s house into a market!â€ 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: â€œZeal for your house will consume me.â€[a]

18 The Jews then responded to him, â€œWhat sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?â€

19 Jesus answered them, â€œDestroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.â€

20 They replied, â€œIt has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?â€ 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.
