John:2:12-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After this He went down to Capernaum ,
He ,
His mother ,
His brothers ,
and His disciples ;
and they did not stay there many days .
*
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand ,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .
*
And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves ,
and the money changers doing business .
*
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 .
*
And He said to those who sold doves , "
Take these things away !
Do not make My Father '
s house a house of merchandise !"
*
Then His disciples remembered that it was written , "
Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up ."
*
So the Jews answered and said to Him , "
What sign do You show to us ,
since You do these things ?"
*
Jesus answered and said to them , "
Destroy this temple ,
and in three days I will raise it up ."
*
Then the Jews said , "
It has taken forty-six years to build this temple ,
and will You raise it up in three days ?"
*
But He was speaking of the temple of His body .
*
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 .
*
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover ,
during the feast ,
many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did .
*
But Jesus did not commit Himself to them ,
because He knew all men ,
*
and had no need that anyone should testify of man ,
for He knew what was in man .
