Scripture:

+ GOSPEL: John 2:13-22
Jesus attacks the commercialization of religion by driving merchants out of the temple. When
challenged, he responds mysteriously, with the first prediction of his own death and resurrection. In
the midst of a seemingly stable religious center, Jesus suggests that the center itself has changed.
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he
found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their
tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep
and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned
their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here!
Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!” His disciples remembered that it was
written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then said to him, “What sign
can you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “This temple has been under
construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was
speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that
Jesus had spoken.
After the gospel is read, the following is said responsively:
P: The gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise to you, O Christ.
