First Passover—Cleansing the Temple
13 (E)The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus (F)went up to Jerusalem. 14 (G)And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a whip of [a]cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling (H)the doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making (I)My Father’s house a [b]place of business!” 17 His (J)disciples remembered that it was written: “(K)Zeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 (L)The Jews then said to Him, “(M)What sign do You show us [c]as your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “(N)Destroy this [d]temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 (O)The Jews then said, “It took (P)forty-six years to build this [e]temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking about (Q)the [f]temple of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His (R)disciples (S)remembered that He said this; and they believed (T)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

12 After this He went down to Capernaum— He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples. And they stayed there not many days.
At The Passover, Consumed By Zeal For God’s House, Jesus Cleanses The Temple
13 And the Passover [Feast] of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And in the temple, He found the ones selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers-of-money sitting [at their tables]. 15 And having made a lash[a] from ropes, He drove them all out of the temple, and[b] the sheep and the oxen. And He poured-out the coin of the money-changers. And He overturned the tables. 16 And He said to the ones selling the doves, “Take these things from here. Do not be making the house of My Father a house of a market”. 17 His disciples remembered that it has been written [in Ps 69:9], “Zeal for Your house will consume Me”. 18 Then the Jews responded and said to Him, “What sign do You show us, that you are doing these things?” 19 Jesus responded and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it”. 20 Then the Jews said, “This temple was built for forty and six years, and You will raise it in three days?” 21 But that One was speaking about the temple of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was saying this, and believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus spoke.
