John 2:16-25 ▼

16 And said to them that sold doves, Take away these things from hence, and make not my Father's house an house of traffick.

17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him, What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,

20 Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body.

21 Therefore when he was risen from the dead,

22 his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast- day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.

24 But Jesus did not trust Himself to them;

25 for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.
