* After this he went down to Capernaum , he , and his mother , and his brethren , and his disciples : and they continued there not many days . * And the Jews ' passover was at hand , and Jesus went up to Jerusalem , * And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves , and the changers of money sitting : * And when he had made a scourge of small cords , he drove them all out of the temple , and the sheep , and the oxen ; and poured out the changers ' money , and overthrew the tables ; * And said unto them that sold doves , Take these things hence ; make not my Father 's house an house of merchandise . * And his disciples remembered that it was written , The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up . * Then answered the Jews and said unto him , What sign shewest thou unto us , seeing that thou doest these things ? * Jesus answered and said unto them , Destroy this temple , and in three days I will raise it up . * Then said the Jews , Forty and six years was this temple in building , and wilt thou rear it up in three days ? * But he spake of the temple of his body . * When therefore he was risen from the dead , his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them ; and they believed the scripture , and the word which Jesus had said . * Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover , in the feast day , many believed in his name , when they saw the miracles which he did . * But Jesus did not commit himself unto them , because he knew all men , * And needed not that any should testify of man : for he knew what was in man .
