After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days. The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers\u2019 money, and overthrew their tables. To those who sold the doves, he said, \u201cTake these things out of here! Don\u2019t make my Father\u2019s house a marketplace!\u201d His disciples remembered that it was written, \u201cZeal for your house will eat me up.\u201d
\nThe Jews therefore answered him, \u201cWhat sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?\u201d
\nJesus answered them, \u201cDestroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.\u201d
\nThe Jews therefore said, \u201cIt took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?\u201d But he spoke of the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
\nNow when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did. But Jesus didn\u2019t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone, and because he didn\u2019t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.<\/p>\n
