John 2:12-19
New American Standard Bible
13The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
15And He made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;
16and to those who were selling the doves He said, 'Take these things away from here; stop making My Father’s house a place of business!'
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.'
King James Version
13And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15And 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;
16And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
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 showest 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.

14In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money.

16Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, 'Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!'
