It was almost time for the Passover festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
There in the temple, he found people selling cattle, sheep and pigeons,
and also the money changers sitting at their tables.
From cords, he drove all the animals out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle.
He overturned the tables of the money changers and scattered their coins.
And he ordered those who sold pigeons,
Stop making my father's house a marketplace.
His disciples remembered that the scripture says,
My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire.
The Jewish authorities came back at him with a question.
What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?
Tear down this temple, and in three days I will build it again.
Are you going to build it again in three days?
It has taken 46 years to build this temple.
But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body.
So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this,
and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had said.
While Jesus was in Jerusalem during the Passover festival,
many believed in him as they saw the miracles he performed.
But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all.
There was no need for anyone to tell him about them,
because he himself knew what was in their hearts.
