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

Studija

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.

Иисус Очищает Храм

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

В этой истории, в понедельник после Вербного Воскресенья, Иисус возвращается в Иерусалим, идет в храм и изгнает косарей и людей, которые продавали животных для жертвоприношений. Он переворачивает столы, берет кнут и использует его для уборки храма.

Это мощная история, которая показывает другой взгляд на Личность Иисуса, чем Целитель или проповедник, который так часто описывается. К тому же, не кажется таким уж неразумным, чтобы в храме были обменщики денег - немного похоже на бюро перемен в аэропортах. Там тоже удобно, чтобы люди продавали животных тем, кто нуждается в них для предписанных жертвоприношений.

Итак, о чем история?

Денежники и торговцы животными олицетворяют в нашей жизни злую любовь, замаскированную под внешнее благочестие. Их нужно изгнать, разоблачить и бичевать.

144. As to 'calling by name' meaning recognizing their nature, it must be realized that the ancients understood nothing else by 'a name than the essential nature of a real thing, and by 'seeing and calling them by name' recognizing the nature of such. This was why they gave their sons and daughters names in keeping with the things that were meant by them; for there was something unique to every name, as a means of knowing the origin and nature of those children, as will also be seen later on where, in the Lord's Divine mercy, the twelve sons of Jacob are dealt with. Since therefore a name embodied a person's origin and nature nothing else was meant by 'calling by name'. This manner of speaking was customary among them; but anyone who does not understand is sure to wonder whether they do have these meanings.
