Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 2
¹² After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
¹³ The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
¹⁴ And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
¹⁵ And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, 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 the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business."
¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house will consume me."
¹⁸ The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"
¹⁹ Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
²⁰ The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
²¹ But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
²² So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
