John 2:12-25

The Message Bible MSG

12 After this he went down to Capernaum along with his mother, brothers, and disciples, and stayed several days.

13 When the Passover Feast, celebrated each spring by the Jews, was about to take place, Jesus traveled up to Jerusalem.

14 He found the Temple teeming with people selling cattle and sheep and doves. The loan sharks were also there in full strength.

15 Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right.

16 He told the dove merchants, "Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a shopping mall!"

17 That's when his disciples remembered the Scripture, "Zeal for your house consumes me."

18 But the Jews were upset. They asked, "What credentials can you present to justify this?"

19 Jesus answered, "Tear down this Temple and in three days I'll put it back together."

20 They were indignant: "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"

21 But Jesus was talking about his body as the Temple.

22 Later, after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this. They then put two and two together and believed both what was written in Scripture and what Jesus had said.

23 During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him.

24 But Jesus didn't entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were.

25 He didn't need any help in seeing right through them.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.

15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”

17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”

21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.

24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.

25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
