The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

And He made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away from here; stop making My Father's house a place of business!"

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

His disciples remembered that it was written: "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

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

The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as Your authority for doing these things?"

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?"

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

But He was speaking about the temple of His body.

But he spake of the temple of his body.

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
