2:13 猶太人的逾越節近了，耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。
2:14 看見殿裡有賣牛、羊、鴿子的，並有兌換銀錢的人坐在那裡，
2:15 耶穌就拿繩子做成鞭子，把牛羊都趕出殿去，倒出兌換銀錢之人的銀錢，推翻他們的桌子，
2:16 又對賣鴿子的說：「把這些東西拿去！不要將我父的殿當作買賣的地方。」
2:17 他的門徒就想起經上記著說：「我為你的殿心裡焦急，如同火燒。」
2:18 因此猶太人問他說：「你既做這些事，還顯甚麼神蹟給我們看呢？」
2:19 耶穌回答說：「你們拆毀這殿，我三日內要再建立起來。」
2:20 猶太人便說：「這殿是四十六年才造成的，你三日內就再建立起來嗎？」
2:21 但耶穌這話是以他的身體為殿。
2:22 所以到他從死裡復活以後，門徒就想起他說過這話，便信了聖經和耶穌所說的。
2:23 當耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候，有許多人看見他所行的神蹟，就信了他的名。
2:24 耶穌卻不將自己交託他們；因為他知道萬人，
2:25 也用不著誰見證人怎樣，因他知道人心裡所存的。
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c]
18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.[d] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.

做這在這裡說了一句關於人心的評語：「當耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候，有許多人看見他所行的神蹟，就信了他的名。」
這樣的話好像說到一般人信主的原因，是因為看神蹟而來的，尤其是猶太人。因為他們求的是神蹟，正如保羅所說。舊約當中也有許多是關於神蹟的記載，正如摩西領受使命，以及摩西像百姓說到上帝的拯救時，要伴隨著神蹟！
然而，今天我們信主位什麼不用「神蹟」？是因為聖靈已經降臨了，是聖靈讓我們感受到上帝的恩典而願意跟隨與信靠，所以不需要神蹟！主耶穌已在上帝的右邊了，聖靈與基督徒們同在了，正如我們紀念聖靈降臨節，就是宣告聖靈已經來了！
