John 2:13-22

Young's Literal Translation

¹³ And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴ and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵ and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶ and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'

¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

¹⁸ the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?'

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'

²⁰ The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'

²¹ but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

²² when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.
