Jesus Clears the Temple Courts(A)
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(B) Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(C) 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,(D) and others sitting at tables exchanging money.(E) 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, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house(F) into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[a](G)
18 The Jews(H) then responded to him, “What sign(I) can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”(J)
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”(K)
20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.(L) 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.(M) Then they believed the scripture(N) and the words that Jesus had spoken.

Cleansing the Temple Complex
13 The Jewish Passover(A) was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(B) 14 In the temple complex(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 complex 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.(K)[b]
18 So the Jews replied to Him, “What sign of authority will You show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this sanctuary,(L) and I will raise it up in three days.”(M)
20 Therefore the Jews said, “This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?”(N)
21 But He was speaking about the sanctuary 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.
