13 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and
the changers of money sitting.
15 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of
the changers he
poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
16 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make
not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy
house hath eaten me up.
18 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou
shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
19 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up.
20 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building;
and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples
remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and
the word that Jesus had
said.
23 Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many
believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
25 And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he
knew what was in man.
