John 2:17
eaten me up—a glorious feature in the predicted character of the suffering Messiah (Psalms 69:9), and rising high even in some not worthy to loose the latchet of His shoes. (Exodus 32:19, etc.).
15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make aMy Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, a“Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”
18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, a“What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, a“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
