2:14. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. 2:15. And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew. 2:16. And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic. 2:17. And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. 2:18. The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things? 2:19. Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up. 2:20. The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days? 2:21. But he spoke of the temple of his body. 2:22. When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said. 2:23. Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. 2:24. But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all men, 2:25. And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man. John Chapter 3 Christ's discourse with Nicodemus. John's testimony. 3:1. And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 3:2. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him. 3:3. Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 3:4. Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again? 3:5. Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Unless a man be born again, etc. . .By these words our Saviour hath declared the necessity of baptism; and by the word water it is evident that the application of it is necessary with the words. Matt. 28. 19. 3:6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 3:7. Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again. 3:8. The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. 3:9. Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be done? 3:10. Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
