Jesus clears the Temple, and also proform His first miracle

John 2: Jesus first miracle took place at a wedding at Cana of Galilee, there He turn water into wine; Jesus Mother was there, His disciples were all so invited. John was interested in the demonstration of Jesus power and authority, this miracle has manifested His glory; and His Disciples believed on Him. Weddings were very important and it was a long Celebration, after this He went to Capernaum, with His Mother, Brothers and His disciples, they did not stay many days.

The passover  was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep, doves and money changers doing business. He drove them all out of the Temple, and over turned the tables, and said to those that sold doves, take these things a way. do not make my father's house a house of merchandise1 Then the disciples remembered that it is written, the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. So the Jews answer and said,what sign do you show us, since you do these things?

They demanded of Him a sign to prove His authority to do all the things that He did. Jesus answered,  destroy this temple, and I will rise it up in three days. He was speaking of His body When He is Crucified, but they thought that He was speaking about the temple where they worship, John 2:20-22,  Then the Jews said, it took forty six years to build this temple, and you will raised it up in three days?" 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.
