John 2:13-23
Jesus clears the temple.
In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. Jesus drove these out of temple and said "How dare you turn my Father's house into a market."
His disciples remembered that it is written:"Zeal for your house will consume me."(Pslam 69:9)
Jesus has another miraculous sign, he will raise it again in three days when temple is destroy. The temple he spoken of was his body.
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.
Why?
John wrote these things about Jesus, disciples was reminded that Jesus did has his meaning, to show He is the Christ and is coincident with the scripture.
Not only the church but also our body of christian is temple of the Lord, we should keep it clean for being used of the Lord.
Jesus visit 'his' Temple and asserts his unique authority- to be instantly questioned by the authorities about his right to do so.
How?
Jesus has the right to clear the Temple and all of our sins.
