* After this , he came down into Capernaum , he , and his mother and brethren , and his disciples ; and , there , they abode , not many days . * And , near , was the passover of the Jews ; and , Jesus , went up unto Jerusalem . * And he found , in the temple , them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves , also the money-changers sitting . * And , making a scourge out of rushes , all of them , thrust he forth out of the temple , both the sheep and the oxen ; and , the money-changers small coins , poured he forth , and , the tables , he overturned ; * and unto them who were selling , the doves , he said Take these things hence ! Be not making , the house of my Father , a house of merchandise . * His disciples remembered that it was written The zeal of thy house , eateth me up . * The Jews therefore answered , and said unto him , What sign , dost thou point out to us , in that , these things , thou doest ? * Jesus answered , and said unto them Take down this shrine , and , in three days , will I raise it . * The Jews , therefore , said In forty and six years , was this shrine built . And , thou , in three days , wilt raise it ! * But , he , was speaking concerning the shrine of his body . * When , therefore , he had been raised from among the dead , his disciples remembered , that , this , he had been saying ; and they believed in the Scripture , and in the word which Jesus had spoken . * Now , when he was in Jerusalem , during the passover , during the feast , many , believed on his name , viewing his signs which he was doing . * Jesus himself , however , was not trusting himself unto them , by reason of his understanding them all , * and because he had , no need , that anyone should bear witness concerning man ; for , he , understood what was in man .
