John 2:13-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. And the Passover of the Yehuḏim was near, and יהושע went up to Yerushalayim.

14. And He found in the Set-apart Place those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting.

15. And having made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the Set-apart Place, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the moneychangers’ coins and overturned the tables.

16. And He said to those selling doves, “Take these away! Do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise!”

17. And His taught ones remembered that it was written, “The ardour for Your house has eaten Me up.”

18. And the Yehuḏim answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You are doing these?”

19. יהושע answered and said to them, “Destroy this Dwelling Place, and in three days I shall raise it.”

20. Then the Yehuḏim said, “It took forty-six years to build this Dwelling Place, and You are going to raise it in three days?”
