Mark 11:15-18 : Jesus Cleanses the Temple (Gospel of Mark)

Estudio

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

Jesús limpia el templo

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

En esta historia, el lunes después del Domingo de Ramos, Jesús vuelve a entrar en Jerusalén, va al templo y echa a los cambistas y a la gente que vendía animales para los sacrificios. Voltea las mesas, toma un látigo y lo usa para limpiar el templo.

Es una historia poderosa, y una que muestra una visión diferente de la personalidad de Jesús que el curandero o predicador que se describe tan a menudo. Además, no parece tan irrazonable que haya cambistas en el templo, un poco como las oficinas de cambio en los aeropuertos. También parece conveniente tener gente allí vendiendo animales a aquellos que los necesitan para las ofrendas de sacrificio prescritas.

Entonces, ¿de qué se trata la historia?

Los cambistas y vendedores de animales representan los malos amores en nuestras vidas que se cubren de piedad externa. Tienen que ser expulsados, desenmascarados y azotados.

(Referencias: Apocalipsis Explicado 410 [8])

#59 The Loving Jehovah and the Angry Jesus

Por Jonathan S. Rose

Title: The Loving Jehovah and the Angry Jesus

Topic: Word/Trinity

Summary: We examined the longstanding Christian myth that Jehovah is angry and judgmental but Jesus is loving, meek, and mild. Actually Jehovah is loving and Jesus does plenty of rebuking and name-calling. The ultimate conclusion is that Jesus and Jehovah are One, and God is love, not anger.
