John 2:16 in Context — John 2
14 Il trouva dans le temple les vendeurs de bœufs, de brebis et de pigeons, et les changeurs assis.
15 Ayant fait un fouet avec des cordes, il les chassa tous du temple, ainsi que les brebis et les bœufs; il dispersa la monnaie des changeurs, et renversa les tables;
16 et il dit aux vendeurs de pigeons: Otez cela d’ici, ne faites pas de la maison de mon Père une maison de trafic.
17 Ses disciples se souvinrent qu’il est écrit: Le zèle de ta maison me dévore.
18 Les Juifs, prenant la parole, lui dirent: Quel miracle nous montres-tu, pour agir de la sorte?
