John 2: 13-25
John 2:13-25
Cleansing the Temple Complex
13 The Jewish Passover (A) was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. (B) 14 In the temple complex (C) He found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and [He also found] the money changers sitting there. 15 After making a whip out of cords, (D) He drove everyone out of the temple complex with their sheep (E) and oxen. He also poured out the money changers' coins and overturned the tables. 16 He told those who were selling doves, "Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father's (F) house (G) into a marketplace!" (H) [a]
17 And His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal (I) for Your house will consume (J) Me. (K) (L)
18 So the Jews replied to Him, "What sign [of authority] will You show us for doing these things?"
19 Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, (M) and I will raise it up in three days." (N)
20 Therefore the Jews said, "This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?" (O)
21 But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body. (P) 22 So when He was raised from the dead, (Q) His disciples remembered that He had said this. (R) And they believed the Scripture (S) and the statement Jesus had made.
23 While He was in Jerusalem (T) at the Passover Festival, (U) many trusted in His name (V) when they saw the signs He was doing. 24 Jesus, however, would not entrust Himself to them, since He knew them all 25 and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man. (W)
I did not understand the wording in vs 17 "Zeal for Your house will consume Me," until I read Numbers 25. That passage really helped me to understand the 'why' of what Jesus
did in the temple.
The next verse part that "spoke to me" was vs 24 & 25. It is a predicate to the following scripture (also found in John, so when we get there, I'll probably refer back to this post)
John 10:22-30
Jesus at the Festival of Dedication
22 Then the Festival of Dedication [c] took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 Jesus was walking in the temple complex in Solomon's Colonnade. (V) [d] 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and asked, "How long are You going to keep us in suspense? [e] If You are the Messiah, (W) tell us plainly." (X) [f]
25"I did tell you and you don't believe," Jesus answered them. "The works (Y) that I do in My Father's name testify about Me. 26But you don't believe because you are not My sheep. (Z) [g] 27My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me. 28I give them eternal life, (AA) and they will never perish (AB) —ever! No one will snatch (AC) them out of My hand. 29My Father, (AD) who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30The Father and I are one." (AE) [h]
He knows what is in the hearts of man.
