Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 2:13-19

13When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
18On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
