Jesus had his moments of open display of anger.... tremontumc.org The account of Jesus cleansing the Temple in Jerusalem is contained in all four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The prescribed lectionary gospel reading for this morning, the Third Sunday in Lent, is from John’s account in John 2. It differs from the other three gospel accounts in two ways. First, the other three gospel writers-- Matthew, Mark and Luke--place the cleansing of the Temple story toward the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly ministry. The Gospel of John, however, places the cleansing of the Temple at the very beginning of Jesus’ ministry. The second difference has to do with the mention of a whip. Matthew, Mark and Luke do not mention it. The gospel writer of John writes in John 2:15: “Making a whip of cords, [Jesus] drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle.” We are left to wonder from the phraseology of the NRSV whether Jesus used the whip to drive just the livestock out of the Temple, or whether he used it also upon the money changers as well. Eugene Peterson in his paraphrase of the Bible called “The Message” renders John 2:15 this way: “Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right.” From Peterson’s rendering, we are led to believe that Jesus used his whip of leather cords on the backs of the money changers as well as on the livestock.
