Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 2
¹² After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
¹³ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
¹⁴ And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers doing business.
¹⁵ When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
¹⁶ And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!"
¹⁷ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten
¹⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?"
¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
²⁰ Then the Jews said, "It has taken 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 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
