Mark 11:15-18 : Gesù pulisce il tempio (Vangelo di Marco)

Studio

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.

耶稣洗净圣殿

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

在这个故事中,在棕树节后的星期一,耶稣再次进入耶路撒冷,到圣殿,把卖钱的人和卖牲口做祭品的人赶走。他掀翻了桌子,拿着鞭子,用鞭子扫荡圣殿。

这是个很有力量的故事,也显示出耶稣的个性与人们常说的医者或传道人不同。此外,圣殿里有钱庄似乎也不是没有道理的--有点像机场的零钱局。而且,让人在那里把动物卖给那些需要的人,供奉规定的祭品,似乎也很方便。

那么,这个故事是怎么回事呢?

赚钱的人和卖牲口的人,代表着我们生活中的邪爱,他们把自己伪装成外在的虔诚。他们必须被赶走,揭开面纱,并受到祸害。
