John 2:17-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
17His disciples remembered that it was written: 'ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME.' 18The Jews then said to Him, 'What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?' 19Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.' 20The Jews then said, 'It took forty-six years to build this temple, and yet You will raise it up in three days?' 21But He was speaking about the temple of His body. 22So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name as they observed His signs which He was doing.
24But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, because He knew all people,
25and because He did not need anyone to testify about mankind, for He Himself knew what was in mankind.
King James Version

17And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. 18Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21But he spake of the temple of his body. 22When 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.Christian Standard Bible
