John 2:13-22
Christian Standard Bible
Cleansing the Temple
13 The Jewish Passover(A) was near, and so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(B) 14 In the temple(C) he found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and he also found the money changers sitting there. 15 After making a whip out of cords,(D) he drove everyone out of the temple with their sheep(E) and oxen. He also poured out the money changers’ coins and overturned the tables. 16 He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s(F) house(G) into a marketplace!”[a](H)
17 And his disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal(I) for your house will consume(J) me.[b](K)
18 So the Jews replied to him, “What sign will you show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple,[c](L) and I will raise it up in three days.”(M)
20 Therefore the Jews said, “This temple took forty-six years to build,[d] and will you raise it up in three days?” (N)
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.(O) 22 So when he was raised from the dead,(P) his disciples remembered that he had said this,(Q) and they believed the Scripture(R) and the statement Jesus had made.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple
13 The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(A) 14 In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, with the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!”(B) 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”(C) 18 The Jews then said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?”(D) 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”(E) 20 The Jews then said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking of the temple of his body.(F) 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
