## John 2:18-21 in Context (Verses 15–24 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/john/2/15) 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 ](/kjv/john/2/16) And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/john/2/17) And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/john/2/18) ¶ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
 
 [19 ](/kjv/john/2/19) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/john/2/20) Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/john/2/21) But he spake of the temple of his body.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/john/2/22) 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 ](/kjv/john/2/23) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/john/2/24) But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all *men*,
