¹³ The Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ In the Temple, He found the merchants selling oxen, sheep, and doves; also the moneychangers sitting there. ¹⁵ Then He made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the Temple, both the sheep and oxen. He dumped out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables. ¹⁶ To those selling doves, He said, “Get these things out of here! Stop making My Father’s house a marketplace!” ¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your House will consume Me!”^[a]

¹⁸ The Judean leaders responded, “What sign do You show us, since You are doing these things?”

¹⁹ “Destroy this Temple,” Yeshua answered them, “and in three days I will raise it up.”

²⁰ The Judean leaders then said to Him, “Forty-six years this Temple was being built, and You will raise it up in three days?” ²¹ But He was talking about the temple of His body. ²² So after He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was talking about this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Yeshua had spoken.

²³ Now when He was in Jerusalem for the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He was doing. ²⁴ But Yeshua did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men. ²⁵ He did not need anyone to testify about man, for He knew what was in man.
