* Afterward , he went to Capernaum , he and his mother , and his brothers , and his disciples ; but they staid not there many days . * And the Jewish passover being nigh , Jesus went to Jerusalem ; * and finding changers sitting in the temple , and people who sold cattle and sheep , and doves ; * he made a whip of cords , and drove them all out of the temple , with the sheep and cattle , scattering the coin of the changers , and oversetting their tables . * and he said to them , who sold doves , * «(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture ,'My zeal for thy house consumes me .')» * Therefore , the Jews answered , and said to him , By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things ? * Jesus answering , said to them , * The Jews replied , Forty and six years was this temple in building ; and you would rear it in three days ? * (But , by the temple , he meant his body .) * When , therefore , he was risen from the dead , his disciples remembered that he had said this , and they understood the scripture , and the word which Jesus had spoken . * While he was at Jerusalem , during the feast of the passover , many believed on him , when they saw the miracles which he performed . * But Jesus did not trust himself with them , because he knew them all . * He needed not to receive from others a character of any man , for he knew what was in man .
