Today is already the third Sunday of lent. Two more sundays to go and we're about to enter the holy week season, wherein, we commemorates Christ's paschal mystery.
Today's Gospel is found in the book of John 2:13-25 and it talks about the
Cleansing of the Temple.
Cleansing of the Temple.
"13(A) The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus(B) went up to Jerusalem. 14(C) In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make(D) my Father’s house a house of trade." 17His disciples remembered that it was written,(E) "Zeal for your house will consume me."
18So the Jews said to him,(F) "What sign do you show us for doing these things?" 19Jesus answered them, (G) "Destroy this temple, and in three days(H) I will raise it up." 20The Jews then said, "It h
as taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21But he was speaking about(I) the temple of his body. 22When therefore he was raised from the dead,(J) his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed(K) the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Jesus Knows What Is in Man 23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name(L) when they saw the signs that he was doing. 24But Jesus(M) on his part did not entrust himself to them, because(N) he knew all people 25and needed no one to bear witness about man, for(O) he himself knew what was in man."
