John 2:16-23

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ and to those who were selling ^(A)the doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making ^(B)My Father’s house a ^[a]place of business!” ¹⁷ His ^(C)disciples remembered that it was written: “^(D)Zeal for Your house will consume me.” ^18 (E)The Jews then said to Him, “^(F)What sign do You show us ^[b]as your authority for doing these things?” ¹⁹ Jesus answered them, “^(G)Destroy this ^[c]temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” ^20 (H)The Jews then said, “It took ^(I)forty-six years to build this ^[d]temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?” ²¹ But He was speaking about ^(J)the ^[e]temple of His body. ²² So when He was raised from the dead, His ^(K)disciples ^(L)remembered that He said this; and they believed ^(M)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³ Now when He was in Jerusalem at ^(N)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name as they ^(O)observed His signs which He was doing.
