John 2:11-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

12. After this, he descended to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, but they did not remain there for many days.

13. And the Passover of the Jews was near, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.

14. And he found, sitting in the temple, sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.

15. And when he had made something like a whip out of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the brass coins of the moneychangers, and he overturned their tables.

16. And to those who were selling doves, he said: "Take these things out of here, and do not make my Father's house into a house of commerce."

17. And truly, his disciples were reminded that it is written: "Zeal for your house consumes me."

18. Then the Jews responded and said to him, "What sign can you show to us, that you may do these things?"
