Jesus Cleanses the Temple and Speaks of His Body

John 2:12-25
12After this he came down toward Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there not many days. 13And the Passover lamb of the Jews was near, and Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem. 14And he found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting. 15And having made a whip out of ropes, he drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the coins of the moneychangers, and he overturned the tables. 16And he said to those who were selling the doves, "Take these up from here; do not make the house of my father a house of marketplace." 17His disciples remembered that it is written, "The zeal of your house will devour me." 18Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, "What sign do you show to us that you do these things?" 19Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it." 20Therefore the Jews said, "This temple was built in forty-six years, and will you raise it in three days?" 21He was speaking then about the temple of his body. 22Therefore when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had been saying this, and they trusted the writing and the word which Jesus had said. 23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the festival, many trusted in his name, seeing the signs which he was doing. 24But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all people. 25And he had no need that anyone should testify about the human, for he himself knew what was in the human.
