11.10 The Purging of the Temple

JN 2:13-25

13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and
sheep and doves, and the money-changers at their business. 15 And he
made a whip of cords, and drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out
of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and
overturned their tables. 16 And he said to those who sold doves, "Take
these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of
merchandise!" 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal
for your house will consume me." 18 Then the Jews said to him, "What
sign do you show to us, since you do this?" 19 Jesus answered them,
"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The
Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and
will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he was speaking of the
temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his
disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the
scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many
believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did. 24 But Jesus
did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, 25 and he had
no need for anyone to bear witness of man, for he knew what was in man.
