John 2:12-25
New King James Version
12 After this He went down to (A)Capernaum, He, His mother, (B)His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple(C)
13 (D)Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 (E)And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers [a]doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make (F)My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, (G)“Zeal for Your house [b]has eaten Me up.”
18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, (H)“What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, (I)“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 But He was speaking (J)of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, (K)His disciples remembered that He had said this [c]to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
The Discerner of Hearts
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the (L)signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He (M)knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for (N)He knew what was in man.

John 2:12-25
King James Version
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 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;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 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.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
