the sheep and cattle,
and poured out the money of the brokers, and overturned the tables,
[2:16]and said to those that sold doves, Take these things hence; make
not my Father's house a house of merchandise. [2:17]And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thy house consumes me.

3 [2:18]Then the Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show
us, that you do these things? [2:19]Jesus answered and said to them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it. [2:20]Then the
Jews said to him, Forty-six years was this temple being built, and will
you raise it in three days? [2:21]But he spoke of the temple of his
body. [2:22]When, therefore, he was raised from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the
word which Jesus spoke.

CHAPTER IV.

CHRIST'S DISCOURSE WITH NICODEMUS.

1 [2:23]AND when he was at Jerusalem at the feast of the passover many
believed on him, seeing his miracles which he performed; [2:24]but

unborn infant of his mother a second time, and be born? [3:5]Jesus
answered, I tell you most truly, unless a man is born of water and of
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [3:6]That which is
born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is a

[3:8]The Spirit breathes where it wills, and you hear its voice, but
you know not whence it comes, nor whither it goes; so is every one that
