New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
12 After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples.
12
After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
13 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
13
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money.
14
In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
15 Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered the money changers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables.
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 Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”
16
To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
17 Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house will consume me.”
17
His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
18 But the Jewish leaders demanded, “What are you doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.”
18
The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
19 “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
19
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
20 “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it 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 when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.
21
But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.
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 Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.
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 didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people.
24
But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.
25 No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.
25
He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
