John J. Pilch
The word “remembered” or “recalled” is a technical term used by John to describe the process by which the community of believers gradually came to view Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture after his resurrection.
To pray in God’s temple we must pray in the peace of the Church, in the unity of the body of Christ, which is made up of many believers throughout the world.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ
We recognize that it is from John that most of us get our picture of the cleansing of the Temple. The point is not drama but symbol.
Reginald H. Fuller
It is God’s will ultimately not to destroy the earth but to
redeem it.
