- After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
- Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
- He found in the temple courts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.
- So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
- To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
- His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will devour me.”
- So then the Jewish leaders responded, “What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?”
- Jesus replied, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”
- Then the Jewish leaders said to him, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up in three days?”
- But Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body.
- So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.
- Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.
- But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.
- He did not need anyone to testify about people, for he knew what was in people.
- Now a certain person, a Pharisee named Nicodemus… came to Jesus at night
