14

And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and changers of money, sitting there.

15

Then hee made a scourge of small cordes, and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrewe the tables,

16

And said vnto them that solde doues, Take these things hence: make not my fathers house, an house of marchandise.

17

18

Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things?

19

Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe.

20

Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies?

21

But he spake of the temple of his bodie.

22

Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide.
