John 2:12-25

After turning water to wine at the wedding, JESUS went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days. When the Jewish Passover was at hand, JESUS went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers. So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. He poured out the changer's money and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my FATHER's house a house of merchandise!" His disciples remembered the Scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me." Confronting him, the Jews asked, "What sign can you show us proving your authority to do these things?" JESUS answered, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Then the Jews, not knowing that the temple he spoke of was his body, asked, "Forty-six years it took to build this temple; and in three days you will raise it?" His disciples remembered what he had said after he was raised from the dead, and they believed the Scripture and the words which JESUS had spoken. While he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many saw the miracles he performed and believed in him. But JESUS did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men. He did not need for anyone to testify about man, because he knew what was in a man.
