^2:13 Just before the Jewish Passover Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

^2:14 and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and pigeons, and the money changers sitting at their counters there.

^2:15 Making a whip out of some cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, cattle and sheep as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over

^2:16 and said to the pigeon-sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop turning my Father’s house into a market’.

^2:17 Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: Zeal for your house will devour me.[*b]

^2:18 The Jews intervened and said, ‘What sign can you show us to justify what you have done?’

^2:19 Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up’.

^2:20 The Jews replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this sanctuary[*c]: are you going to raise it up in three days?’

^2:21 But he was speaking of the sanctuary that was his body,

^2:22 and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the words he had said.
